We were going fast and accidentally got knocked into reverse it continued yo run for seconds then stopped moving. The engine sounds fine just won't move. Is thetransmission blown or could it be the sshift linkage or tourqu converter? How do I reach the shift linkage to check it?

Hello, I'm Danny.

Here is the information you requested. Its possible there could be internal damage that has been caused by having this happen. Best way to find out is to remove the transmission oil pan to inspect for metal pieces or shrapnel from damage. Here is a tutorial showing how to service a transmission:

I've attached picture steps below on how to check and adjust the transmission linkage as well as the correct type of transmission fluid to add if you decide to remove the pan for inspection. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
