I have a 2009 G37S coupe rwd with 90K+ miles on it. Automatic transmission.Was pushing the car pretty hard about two days ago. Then I noticed everytime I come to a stop the car would rock forward and back then stop. It kept happening, so I pulled over check the hood and saw nothing.

As it kept doing that I pulled over again and cut the car off for a bit. It never stopped. I parked it for about 40 mins, then began to drive again and it got worse. I would step on the gas and the car wouldnt move. I put it in park the back in drive and it wouldnt move. It would only move in reverse. The only time it moved for a short period was when I cut the car off and put it back on.

Any ideas why this is happening? Maybe a bad solenoid?

 

did it throw any codes? IF so what are they?

 

No bro, no codes what so ever

 

Any noises? Reminds me of an episode of roadkill where a car was squealing hard and wouldn't move, all because of no transmission oil.

Additionally, does it move/rock/pull forward when you put in in gear?

 

Yeah mad a loud squealing everytime I pressed on the gas along with forward rocks. And yeah the car would rock forward and back when putting it into gears. You think I just need transmission fluid?

 

Do you still roll forward normally while in drive, off the brakes.

 

The car doesnt move while in drive unless I press on the pedal and it still had a 10-15 sec delay before it moves. And it doesnt even go anywhere

 

not saying it’s just atf, but I feel like that could be the cause. Sadly running it dry like that can cause some serious damage, so don’t drive it until it gets a good drink

 

Check the fluid that can cause it too happen, or torque converter is bad, or the whole transmission. The reason you’re about to move a bit forward is due to the fluid being cold once it gets warm it will not bulge. But start off with the transmission fluid by adding some.

 

So what was the problem?
