Within the last month, about every 2 to 3 weeks my car won't go into reverse for about 30 to 60 seconds to back out. Before i take it in and let someone "practice" on my $$pocket book$$ to see what the problem is...want to know if anyone has any ideas...Thanks!!!

 

if it is that sporadic, i would think that it is an electronics issue

 

what do you mean by "electronics"...

 

on a 94 lesabre, i believe that there is an electric TCM, transmission control module. there could also be a solenoid going bad. i would give a buick dealership a call, and see if they will give you any advice to whether or not it is a common issue.

 

Thanks!

 

and let me know what happens!

 

Maybe your tranny is due for an oil change... often just changing the filter and the oil correct many problem

 

I agree with Erakiel81. My other car (Intrepid) will do this. I basically use this as my guage to change the trannie oil and filter. Hey I cannot go wrong as it has over 200,000 miles with no issues.

 

Thanks for all the help...put some TransX fluid in the transmission oil and haven't had the problem since then...
