Unhappy Kind of confused

So im kind of confused here and was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. A while ago my 02 auto EX just gave out on me. I was at a light and when it was time for me to go, my car wouldnt move at all. Like it was in nuetral! D,R,3, and 2. nothing made it move! Could this be my transmission or a service belt? Much help needed. Thanks.

Re: Kind of confused

Well if it was a timing belt your motor would be f*cked. You should be able to see your belts if you just look. Is there any kinda grinding noise coming from the car? need more info.

If it was the timing belt the car wouldn't start.

Re: Kind of confused

just buy a used auto tranny. You can probably buy one for around $150-200

Just search ebay and craigslist man. Some times if just cheaper if you buy the engine and tranny together.

Killzone bought a newer lx engine with tranny with 60k on it for $250 shipped.

These engines are so disposable, its just cheaper to buy a newer used one then to rebuild them.

Re: Kind of confused

Only the EX and Si have Vtec. The DX/LX do not have Vtec.
