I was driving for about 15-20 mins this morning, with no indication of anything going wrong, then the car slipped out of gear. It just continued to rev freely no matter what gear i put it in (even reverse). It starts perfectly and idles normally, im completely lost. The car drove perfectly with no indications of problems to come. Also I checked the transmission fluid its full and looks as new as can be. PLEASE IF ANYONE HAS ANY SUGESSTIONS, PLEASE DONT HESITATE.

definately your transmission about to go...the j30 i had before this one had the same thing happen...ended up having the whole transmission rebuilt...definately take it to a reuptable transmission shop and have them look it over...does it run fine after you stop, turn the car off and start over???

THE TRANSMISSION REBUILD CREW!!!!



Seriously, you may need to get your transmission either rebuilt or replaced. Common problem with the J30s.

Have it looked at by a reputable transmission shop before you do anything drastic.Clean non burnt fluid is a glimmer of hope.How many miles on that transmission ??
