I assume it's an L322? Does the engine run? If the engine runs, there are several possibilities but the GM gearbox is a known weak point. If the gearbox has failed, you may need to sell any children you may have as well as your husband and father.
Yes engine still runs..... Oh Really? I have 6 children... plus husband and father.... will that cover it?
If there was no oil in the gearbox, it's toast. Difficult to be sure what the problem is without seeing it but it does sound like a gearbox rebuild is in order. Where are you located? Maybe someone nearby who could give a better opinion.
A good question, it's an x5 transmission setup??
I admire your optimism.
I misread. I thought it wouldn't drive at all. Isn't there a sprag couch in these boxes? That might go bang if it fails? That should also kill the 'box with bits floating round if you continue to drive it?
If the car only does the school run that could be about right.
Yes thats it in a nut shell.
