SO you have you checked for damage underneath the car yet??......If the pump looses pressure the Trans will feel like it has no movement. if There is a Issue with either the Filter or any part that sucks fluid out of the pan, the car will exhibit the "No Gears" feeling

Your posts can be a bit hard to read and understand. Have you done what Pat asked, and checked for physical damage?

The difference is that this is a forum board, not chat. Complete words, punctuation and complete information on what has and has not been done goes a long way toward having your problem understood. If it's not, you'll get either improper information, or people will move on to other threads.

Too many are not as bad as not enough. ;-)

Had the pan ever been dropped to change the fluid and filter?

Have you looked VERY close underneath for any damage? Not just damage to the pan, but look at all of the lines from the transmission to the radiator and back, of those are pinched or dented that could also cause an issue.

How soon after you hit the beam did the issue start? Immediately or within a week or so? Was there any issues at all even small issues before?

Yes & i didn't see any but i did change radiator out it had acrack in water tank & i do have a small leak from somewhere not a lot though . It drops a few drops about every 4-5 days i think it's from Axel on passenger side but not positive. It started about 4-5 months later. the only thing that i can think of problem wise was AC vents didnt work right &parking mirror didn't move & small evap leak when i got the car.

If it didn't start until 4 or 5 months later then I would think that would rule out the beam as the cause of the issue.
