Hello all,
The car in question is a 1992 Buick Regal 4dr with the 3.8l V6 and 144k miles.
The symptoms.
Runs and drives fine, but sometimes when you go to take off from a stop, the car is in neutral. Reving does not seem to help. Pulling the shifter down into low makes it go into gear and the car drives normally.
When it first appeared, I checked and it was low on fluid. Bringing the level up decreased the frequency if occurence but did not eliminate it.
Making a fast stop will make it stick in neutral more often than a gentle stop.
This sounds expensive, is it?
