Car Forum / GMC Cars / April 2008Is my transmission shot?
So, I was driving home today when my 95 Cavalier started making a clunky kind of noise every time I stepped on the gas. Eventually it sounded like something may have fallen off of the car, and then the car hesitated quite a bit afterward. I luckily lived close by and parked the car ASAP. My husband went out to look at it and said I have no reverse. Im assuming this means my transmission is shot? Help!

Want to borrow money the get it fixed? Chances are the tranny needs fixing and that can run from $250 to $2500. Given the age of the car I'd consider getting one from a junk yard as it is probably not worth spending big bucks on a 13 year old car. Sometimes you get lucky and it is a minor repair, but not often, it seems. Can only say on past history with my Jimmy. Reverse went out and shifted hard. Fix was $1,500 four years ago. >> So, I was driving home today when my 95 Cavalier started making a >> clunky kind of noise every time I stepped on the gas.
