transmission on my 1995 SC1

My transmisdsion crapped out.... First it was the 'reverse slam"



Now.. it refuses to go into reverse, and 2nd and 3rd are a problem as well (automatic trnsmission btw)



The funny part is that, as I've called trans shops here where I live for help, they refuse to work on Saturns, telling me that Transmission for that car are bad from the get-go.....



They actually turn away business.



Where is the recall Saturn???? These transmissions are bad, I had the reverse slam since 95 when we bought the car.



I'm car shopping in December. It's a Honda or Toyota for me.



It might be a loose input shaft nut. A Saturn shop in NY fixed my 95 SW2 (87k mi.) for $282.

What maintenance did you perform? How many miles on the trans? Seems odd that you could get 10 years out of such a badly designed unit after it started the reverse slam. They are actually pretty reliable transmissions if the fluid and filter gets changed frequently.
