My roommate was part of a multi vehicle accident in her 1996 Geo Prizm. She is ok, but the car did not fare too well. I was able to straighten most of the bent sheet metal (flattening the hood, pulling the radiator support back out, and pushing the ac core back in place) , but there is now an issue with the transmission. It has a 5-speed. She has no reverse and 2nd gear anymore. 4th is kinda iffy, but mostly not engaging. I was wondering if anyone who was in the know on these cars having any idea on the culprit? I have checked the usual suspects, but I did not see any issues. The shifter lever is engaging the cables, you can hear the gears (with engine off) shifting in place, but nothing seems to make it go.
