Transmission will not move car in any gear. Happened when parked and restarted. Car would not move, Fluid okay. It's a 93 Century w/91,000. 3.3 motor

Havea trans guy check this out it may be an electrical problem but your trans may have a seal leaking or pump shot.

Thanks hmac. Tried changing fluid and filter. No difference, Then loosened trans cooling line into radiator with motor running, no fluid movement so probably the pump. Should I try to replace pump myself? Trouble is trying to find a tranny shop tp trust.

No because there may be something else wrong and all your trouble of doing this will go for naught. These used to dameage the sun gear insert so it will need to be gone through all over.
