This is my first post....I have a 1989 camry V6,auto.Has about 123000mi.

It has no reverse.Car is in park and drive at the same time when shifter is in P,R,N. Drives fine in D&L starts in P and N positions but is in gear . Can it be fixed in car?

Hello, Mike! Let me move your thread over to the Camry forum and see if the folks there can lend you a hand. Also, you might want to use that forum's search tool and see if there's a past thread that covers you reverse issue as well. Hope you find a resolution....

Yep not a computer wiz, anyway looking forward to answer ,I didn't find an answer in past to these exact symptoms,maybe I'm hoping for a do it yourself miracle as mechanics and parts are scarce in my part of the big island so i try to do it all myself.

Hi:

This same topic was answered back in May of '09. I think the solution was to look for a new/used tranny.

If the diagnostic steps point out to C0 clutch failure located under side cover, the repair shop can make repair with tranny in the car.

Went to trans. shop they said it was probably fused clutches!?.Anyway they would diagnose for $90!,and fix for $1800 to $2800!-Such is car repair in Hawaii. Thats why we do our own....Anyway I guess I'll Search for a used tranny,In the meantime car still gets me where I want to go. ....in drive.

Oh, don't worry about it. Trans rebuild is no cheaper in the states. I'll let you know if I see anything, but seeing as shipping would be murder since you're in Hawaii I won't look too hard.

Good luck!

Do your reverse lights come on? would be awesome if instead of a shot tranny u just had a dirty/bad neutral safety switch.
