Impala 2009 Gears won’t shift in Drive but Will Shift in Reverse.

Hello guys! My Impala 2009 apparently has a bad transmission. But before going in deep into switching it out I want to make sure that it’s not just the shift solenoide or pressure sensor or something meaningless. Leave down in the comments your experience and let me know how you fixed it! Thank you for watching! 💯

Ok, , to fix it, you need to open the transmission pan and change the transmission supply line . So easy to fix it, google transmission supply line and u will know what am talking about . That’s will save u 600 dollar mechanic fees. 35 minute job. Thumbs up plz, thank u

My 2009 Impala shifts in reverse, and I can drive forward if I shift manually through 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Then I can put the car in drive until I have to stop.

Same thing that happened to me I had a transmission fluid a couple of them and it worked

[probesolouno]

Mine just started going out in Drive and reverse today. I can drive in overhaul. It was really really tough today. Supply line sounds like it now that you guys mention. I pray it is

The crazy thing to me is....I read several different solutions to this problem on researching!! I guess only a great car mechanic can find the true solution.

I'm really nervous about taking mine in. Some shops are shady and will charge you for a new transmission but I'm hoping my shop I go to will be honest.

Remove the transmission pan. There will be some 1/4 steel pipes with flanges on them. It probably broke a pipe take it off have it welded and it should fix your problem.

[larrywade]

I have the same problem. Everybody wants to know did you get it fixed

[angelaviles]

Dudw pull ur transmission pan down and inspect the oil tubes look for a broken end were it has tbe weld its probably apart it 4 tubes together I just seen a video I'm going to check mine as well

The transmission routinely gets too hot because stupid GM made some cars with the radiator end caps on the sides instead of the top and bottom. Therefore they have to put the transmission cooler in the side oriented vertically instead of in the bottom horizontally. The radiator is 30 degrees hotter in the top than the bottom--about 215 versus 185. The upper part of the transmission cooler is always too hot. Transmissions need to stay below 200. An auxiliary cooler will prevent 90% of the problems if installed soon enough before too much damage is done. Dumb ass GM engineers.

2, 600 for a brand new transmission, where?? I'll buy five right now and make some money!! A remanufactured trans is 3, 900 approximately. A rebuilt one is about 2, 500

Guys the problem with these transmission they come with a problem and everybody wanna know the answer is to change out all the shift solenoid and the output shaft sensor make sure you not getting transmission to hot and Make sure there are no naked wires that’s causing a short to transmission

Check if it’s the transmission oil feed tube. I had this same problem but I ended up knowing what was wrong with it and it was the oil feed tube my tube was in a different piece. So I ended up putting a new and it cost me $150 since I got my discount on napa.

[beeboi]

It's your transmission control module

[ihoopalot]

Disconnect your battery and wait a minute and plug it back in disconnect both wires black and red

[thewright]

Did you find out what the problem was? My car is having the same issue!? Please help

[ariasbeto]

It happened to me yesterday 7/4/23 didn't know what to do, so I ended up driving my car in the 2nd gear for 15 miles at 40 mph in the freeway lol. Luckily i made it home safe, but not I have to figure out what the problem is.

[justmythoughts]

All kinds of posts and guesses with no one giving an actual solution for this problem

[powerhouseproduction]

Smh GM do better you know these transmissions were ass why not do a recall on them it sucks everybody going through almost the same thing mines will reverse with no problem but in order for me to drive i have to put it in 1 gear 2 and 3 then shift it back in drive then it drives with no problem but when i come to a stop in drive in try to pull off the engine just rev up like transmission not catching so in order for me to go i have to drop it in 1 then repeat again 1 2 3 then drive smh its very ignoring not to mention transmission slips while in drive smh

[JohnSmith-qntc]

I have a 2011 impala just did the same thing cant figure out how to fix it
