I think the problem might be the 247,000 miles. I'd say that car doesn't owe you a dime at this point.

Bwahahaha!!! My sisters Cutlass also has no reverse, but all the other gears are good. I just find it hilarious

The band/clutches are just worn out.

Cutlass can haul balls when tuned right......

Whats weird is usually a manual tranny will out last an automatic...yet my manual hasn't seen more than 150k
