Asked by Tashara Feb 28, 2021 at 08:13 PM about the 2007 Toyota Camry SE V6

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2007 Toyota camry se 3.5L v6. I recently
got stuck in the snow and was pulled out.I went to
put my car in gear and my car wouldn't move in
reverse or drive. Its starts up just fine and
everything else is normal but my car will not shift
into gear and go. I have no idea what could be
wrong with it and I would like to have some advice
about what type of work needs to be done.

You said you were stuck in the snow. Did you push on the accelerator spinning the tires for a long time? Then you could have heated the transmission to the point of failure. Transmissions don't like heat. Have the car towed to an auto garage. I suspect you will need your transmission rebuilt and or replaced.

You have to step down hard on the breaks to put it in gear and if that don’t work check your break fluid cause if you’re break fluid is down that can be why it won’t go in gear
