I was driving and my car just started revving up wouldn’t go into drive reverse or park like it was stuck in neutral. I do regular maintenance in my car so I pulled the transmission dip stick and it didn’t lose any fluid and the fluid is cherry pink like it’s suppose to be. Thought it might be the front axles, but they were both good. Any suggestions before I junk it?

Hello, I'm Danny.

It does sound like something let go internally in the transmission.Last time that happened to my truck the transmission pump went out and I loss all gears. Sounds like your symptom.Before you "junk it" you might want to consider look over this guide to help fix it
