    Got reverse, no got forward gears and no codes 2000 LS V8

    I did consider pulling the pan but as noted above, working from the top was better for a partial elimination than the wet under as it had snowed the day before I was there. Lying in mud (and the cold) just wasn't on the top of my list for that day which is why I decided to try and rule out the...

    04_Sport_LS Well, I'm not sure what planet you live on but I only know of a single wrecking yard within 100 miles of Denver that will pull your parts. And they only do trucks and/or units that are less than 5 years old. So ALL our cars are out. As for fluids, they drain them all prior to setting...

    Got reverse, no got forward gears and no codes 2000 LS V8

    I considered that 04_Sport_LS. I found a 2000 S Type Jag in a yard and went and looked at it Saturday. Car looked really nice. Pulled the cam covers and both chains were in place which tells me the tranny probably failed....

    Got reverse, no got forward gears and no codes 2000 LS V8

    The other side of this that I'm chasing is the fact the battery had been unhooked so codes had been cleared. There may be codes that had been set, just now that I can't drive it forward they can't set again to make any determination. So at this point your right. I just need to take it to an...

    no, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn once.... ;) to date I've watched four U Tube vids on the process. Sometimes I feel like the Matrix has come alive and you can download how to be a neurosurgeon and do surgery 5 minutes later. Between those and the manual the only thing I don't like is the...

    Got reverse, no got forward gears and no codes 2000 LS V8

    A new pack would be nice, but at $325 into a currently $500 car and it doesn't work its still a $500 car. If I put in a $25 used pack from a formerly running (wrecked) car (or Explorer if they swap) I still have a good chance of it working and if it doesn't I'm out $60 (pack and fluid) instead...

    Got reverse, no got forward gears and no codes 2000 LS V8

    I had considered the solenoid pack. As a test I thought about going the wrecking yard and finding a wrecked car (you'd know it was driving if wrecked!) and pulling the solenoid pack out of it. But fining an S Type or LS is a hens teeth type thing. So I question - will the solenoid pack swap from...

    Fluid color was dark...almost brown, so I'm going to change it/filter this weekend and see if it helps. Can't hurt...

    Got reverse, no got forward gears and no codes 2000 LS V8

    Park, reverse and neutral all work fine. As near as I can tell its moving thru the entire range of D1-5. Since its a sealed unit you can't really see it move anything. Put your hand on it while someone else moves it and you can feel action within.

    Got reverse, no got forward gears and no codes 2000 LS V8

    As near as I can tell it appears it is functional. The one thing I have noted is the the shift electrics looks "oily". As if a seal behind it leaks or its just blow-by from the rear main area.

    Got reverse, no got forward gears and no codes 2000 LS V8

    the biggest restriction is it wont go forward... I'm "essential services" so being out and about is no issue. Since I don't have any codes, can the car just sit / running and in gear (any - D1-5) and ultimately set codes without moving? Can I drive it around the neighborhood in reverse and...

    Got reverse, no got forward gears and no codes 2000 LS V8

    Finally had time - with FORESCAN the log gave me a lot of "B" and "C" codes in places like the ABS, drivers seat, and such - no critical areas. That said, two things jumped out at me. A P1000 code - which means the system hasn't completed a drive cycle to determine anything. AND... more...

    Thanks AmsterDutch - Thanks for the link, and I had seen several people mentioning Forscan and went looking for it last night. In the process I found Fordsys Free and it has TCM section. Didn't have time last night and now its snowing so I wont today most likely later in the week before I can...

    Got reverse, no got forward gears and no codes 2000 LS V8

    Just bought the car (2000 LS V8) and it runs great, goes backwards great, just doesn't go forward. Has 174k on it. I checked the fluid this afternoon and it was only a quart low. I have an Inova scanner that is giving me no codes however. Ideas on places to start? thanks Bill
