Bought the vehicle listed above and a week later would not go into reverse and now will not shift gears. The people I bought it from said they had a new transfer-case put in a month prior to me buying it and after they got it home it was only driven a couple times but did not seem to have any problems. Do I need a new transmission now? My brother said that when they did the transfer-case that they may not have put enough fluid back in it? I am a female and know the basics on cars but not deep detail.

With the mileage on it probably time for a rebuild. The people you bought it off my not have been completely honest for one thing. If you can check fluid see what color it is and if it is full if it is dark brown or black it is shot. Then have a transmission professional look at it he can give a better opinion.
