I have never had any problems with my car. Until today. I started it up, put it in reverse, and the car felt like it was still in neutrual. No warning no nothing, just drove car last night and then today, its like its stuck in neutrual, checked the fluid, my brother said it looks like its about 2 quarts over filled, I have never, ever added fluid the 3 years i've had it. So he is saying there is a blockage somewhere. I want to have it towed this week to aamco, but i'm so worried they will tell me I need a new trans just to make money. How do I know if I should trust.

Very common for the tranny oil pump to fail causing low or no pressure
tranny need to be pulled and repaired
good luck

Is that the same as a torque converter? I was told today could be that. A ford mechanic gave me his own estimate of $800 total repair w/ half the labor ford generally charges
