runs but gears do not engage. Fluids not burnt and has no metal flakes in it. Car had a hesitation that gained a shimmy a few days before the gears quit engaging. I know there are several things that could cause this but was wondering if you could name a few other than the transmission being blown.

If your fluid is full and in good condition, then we need to move onto the pressure. However, here is a guide that will help those that have yet to check this:

I am attaching the pressure test info below that we need to run through.

Basically, what I think happened is we have a stuck valve, or the pump just is not operating.

Please run through info attached on how to perform the test required and let us know what questions you have.

Thanks
