1992 sc400 2nd owner of car bought form original owner Paid 1500.00 for it.Needed a alt. and a idler pulley to drive.1.5 weeks later timing belt goes on I-10 coming out of phoenix in rush hour.Thank god for the 1st gen. non interference mtr. ;) Bought here in phx from a friend who has a new M5 it sat in his garage for 2.5 years.Entire two years went by with no start.Car is in great shape did the water pump and cam seals also had to change right bank dist. rotor when the T-belt broke must of swung around and broke it.Drove for under a week and all of the sudden did a small little burn out and then Pow i'm in drive but nuetral is what it seems like.Turn off car and now only have 1st gear but in all gears.???????In rev motor revs to only 2200 but like its under severe load with no reverse movement.nuetral forget bout it.I let off the brake in N and it will drive forward.(I drove it across the street to the store yesterday in neutral)D rest of the way down is all first gear.But when the night this happened i was trying to nurse it up a steep hill to get home and on the back side of the hill i turned the vehicle off and restarted it while rolling 35-40 and put it in drive and i'm almost positive that it gave me third.Trans felt absoultly great up to this point of ????It also make a faint like buzzin?ratling sound when floating the gas in park to get to the above mentioned 2200 RPM. Sounds like a loose flex plate.I've been searching all the threads and find alot of siliar cases but none described or from me read to be the same problem.Was going to maybe drop the pan today and try to troubleshoot solinoid or the screen in the tranny.I am totally stumped and I've been turning wrenches for about 15 years and owned a shop out here in FH for about 2 years.So i know a thing or to and have lots of contacts out here but cant get a good idea whats up.Fluid was alittle dark for my taste but not alarmingly bad as I've seen much worse and it was not burnt.Please advise i'm desperate.Torque converter staying locked up maybe??? Any input would greatly be appreciated.Thanks and sorry for the book i just wrote.O yeah also the OD light is on and off intermit. and check engine light on.Cant pull codes since my scanner is only for can and obdII.PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!Pics soon but dont even want to look at it right now.
