2000 eclipse won't go into reverse?

Question

when I put the car into reverse it will go like 2 feet then start making this grinding noise what could it be how could I fix it

Answer 1

You won't be able too. It needs to go to a transmission shop. You will be told you need a rebuild whether it's just a part or two or not. They need to do that and it's a good idea. I hope you were planning to keep the car because it won't be cheap. You could buy a used transmission, possibly from a later model, but you have no assurance the same thing won't happen to that one. At least with a rebuild, you get a warranty. Aamco is big, and they do a good job and have a great warranty. Maybe someone you know has a better local recommendation. Sorry.
