04 D2.

Was driving in very deep snow turning around in my driveway, started spinning tires going forward, then a not loud sound, but a clunk, as though someone shifted in to neutral with the wheels spinning, and I lost all forward gears. It's like it's in neutral. Except reverse works perfectly fine.

1234 and D are the same as N. And usually there's that tiny resistance when you're moving the lever to D, and that's gone too.

High and low and tcase lock change nothing.

No weird noises, no codes, just no forward.

Working theory is I slammed on high enough snow to knock something external out of whack, but what?


Would r and p work if it's just the shift linkage?

Or did I finally burn out my trans?

Thanks for any ideas! I can't get under it until the 3 feet of snow melts a bit! I had to use the winch to turn it around and reverse home.

 

You could have fubared the linkage at the transmission, it is like a sliding arm to the XYZ box or messed up the XYZ box itself.
