Those of you who have had to replace tranny's, how expensive is it, does it have to be a tranny from a 4x4? There is a tranny on craigslist in my city from a 97, but it wont fit correct-different engine and such? Should I try and get it rebuilt or get a new one all together?

I added about half a bottle of Lucas Transmission Fix goo and it seemed to help a little. Reverse seemed to engage quicker than before. Drove it around a bit, but forgot I didn't have a dependable reverse and had to backup about 40ft. Now the shifter doesn't even click into reverse, the button stays depressed, never clicking into reverse like it does every other gear. Screwed?

Found it finally, I was overlooking it the whole time. Thanks for the pic. I'll take a look at it tomorrow in the daylight, but I think I'll find another car for the road trip. I appreciate all the help!

Alright dudes, is the cap I'm pointing to in the pic the tranny fluid? http://twitpic.com/22ni5 The fluid looks goods, nice red color, but I don't know what it would look like if it was bad. To my knowledge, I do not have a tranny cooler, the engine is totally stock with the exception of a K&N. Also, I'm planning on driving from OKC to Austin,tx tomorrow ~400miles both ways. Bad idea? It runs well going forward, its only backwards I have a problem with. Thoughts?

So don't put it in the yellow?! Where abouts on the passenger side is it, maybe I'm over looking it, what does it look like?

So the yellow dip stick is the tranny dip stick? Where's the oil dip stick?!

Alright, so I'm a newb and have been searching around for a while. Reverse comes and goes so I was going to add some Lucas Transmission Fix to my tranny fluid, but I dont know where to add it?! All I can find is the yellow dipstick on the driver side! HELP!? Where do I add transmission fluid?

got it
