I have a 2008 LR2 (automatic) that is parked in the garage for 35 days at time because I work away from home. This time around I've come home and gone to use it; it started no problem, I put into reverse and it would not move, put it in drive and it would not move. With both of the aforementioned actions I could feel the car pulling a little and it would rev if I pressed the gas peddle, but still would not move. I did not try to punch the gas peddle however as I did not want to go flying into the townhouse behind me or into my own and was worried that I could cause more damage either to buildings or my own vehichle. I should also mention the E-break was not on.

Are there any mechanically inclined people out there with some advice or knowledge on what the problem could be? as I mentioned before, my time at home is always limited and I will be away twice as long this time, perhaps I should wait till I come back home next time as i'm sure it being parked for such long periods has something to do with it.

 

If you have an extra shifter for High / Low range you could have slipped into "N" - try shifting that around with tranny in "N". Might check for mystery puddle of red tranny fluid under truck, low fluid would also keep you from moving. If fluid smells like burnt coffee pot, transmission could need rebuilding.

 

the fluid is brown, not red, we haven't used red fluid since 2004.
