transmission on my 1995 SC1

My transmisdsion crapped out....
First it was the 'reverse slam"

Now.. it refuses to go into reverse, and 2nd and 3rd are a problem as well
(automatic trnsmission btw)

The funny part is that, as I've called trans shops here where I live for
help, they refuse to work on Saturns, telling me that Transmission for that
car are bad from the get-go.....

They actually turn away business.

Where is the recall Saturn???? These transmissions are bad, I had the
reverse slam since 95 when we bought the car.

I'm car shopping in December. It's a Honda or Toyota for me.

 

It might be a loose input shaft nut. A Saturn shop in NY fixed my 95
SW2 (87k mi.) for $282.

 

What maintenance did you perform? How many miles on the trans? Seems odd
that you could get 10 years out of such a badly designed unit after it
started the reverse slam. They are actually pretty reliable transmissions
if the fluid and filter gets changed frequently.
