2006 Malibu Maxx transmission problem won't go forward but will go in reverse 

No problem. U-Pull rocks I go there a lot

blakessite hey mine won’t go in drive either I got a 2007 Chevy impala ls only goes in reverse but won’t accelerate do you know what may be the problem? Pick n pull parts I typed in tube for keywords and only 3 showed up trans filler tube/ dipstick or tube/ exhaust smog tube

Was it? And what year car do you have

Thanks for the comment. Appreciate it 👍

Nice👍 Happy to help

What year is your car and model

Your very welcome glad it helped you out

You are most welcome

That is awesome! Glad I could help.

Ariel Robbins I have a Buick LaCrosse 2007 will it work on that

What’s the name of the place you went too

@@pierrerose4518 yep

Ariel Robbins wad it your linkage cable or is feed cable different? How long did it talk the shop and did tranny get pulled down or at least opened? That’s time consuming, then u needed need fluid, oil n transmission maybe, filters, and if anyone got something welded that’s an expensive thing to need done usually. Ariel Robbins how long did diagnosing it take. I had it on computer before my reverse only thing and it didn’t register! I did learn to drive really well and fast in reverse! I live in a circle of lots of cars n aparts and the mailboxes are at least 1/4 of a mile from my apartment. I’m lazy so I was driving the impala in reverse all over in the place I live for a couple days. I almost hit the wRTA city bus he came around lol. I’ve been told mount, then linkage(broken) 3 posaid linkage then . Last comment? I think you’re screwed you busted transmission .Cars very nice but I was going to junk it today but I didn’t think I’d get to scrap yard backwards. That’s 5 miles? A cop might notice me!🤣. Thank you though if 251$ might be my bill I can pay that. Doing transmission completely ( finding one 1st) I was looking 1000-1500 probably to get it fixed. If repair shops open.

Everyone stay healthy and safe ! I pray us all !

Your very welcome. Glad it helped

Your welcome , glad it helped

Well that was it! My transmission has 4 tubes and one was cracked off. I decided not to try to weld it. It was pretty small. New one is 250.00. A heck of a lot better than 2000 for a new transmission install! THANKS AGAIN!!!

How much does it cost you to get it welded

Your welcome! Now if I could only get my wife to tell me I was right. Lol

Glad it helped

Glad it helped you.

@@blakessite I have a 2011 chevy malibu my reverse nen is fine but when I put I nun in drive it goes slowly and gradually picks up speed... engine revs.. could this be the problem??

You are very welcome

So what ecactly is it called because I have a 06 nd i see everyone calling it something different

@@blakessite I have a 2011 Chevy Malibu lt and mines did the same exact thing , some telling me it’s my transmission. Can it be this ? If so can I have the exact name of the part I should be looking for?

I'm glad it helped. I know I was bummed out too until I found out about that line then I was way happy

Cool , glad it worked for you

Your welcome. Sorry so late with the reply

What type of car?

Glad it helped. The more everyone helps each other the better

Trent Foster what’s the part actually called?

@@blakessite you're so right!!

@@DAME6700 oil feed tube

So what you're saying is it was worth your time listening to my dumbass Ramble On little bit to save you the cost of a transmission. LOL

Glad it helped

Cool , Happy it helped you out

You are most welcome sir

Your welcome , 👍

I have mazda 3 but when i start engine will start .but togo forward .or reverse .engin.off automatic

Thank you glad it helped.

Lol , it's possible if there's a slight crack in that supply line that just cooling off allowed the fluid to thicken a bit. But during the rebuild they would have taken those lines off and put them back in so that might have fatigued them. What problem were you having that they needed to rebuild it?

@@blakessite It wouldnt go forward and within minutes it wouldnt even go backwards..we tried it for about a hour off and on,it was night time and hadnt driven it but a few minutes.....so repair guy looked and said Transmission needed rebuilding.It did drive good after that for a couple of months.

Glad it helped 👍

Thank you 👍 Yeah I assume the primary goal is ease of assembly. But I do picture a bunch of you guys each throwing a hundred dollars bill in a pot and the one who makes the easiest thing the hardest wins. Lol 🤣

Riccardo Iacampo. same thing happened to me. same car. glad I saw your comment! gonna go save some money

Riccardo Iacampo this happened to my 2010 Chevy Malibu the other day also! Reverse only, so tell me was this guy right did it fix it??

rachel A He was 100% right! Although he opted to have his part welded, I bought a brand new one instead!

Riccardo Iacampo omg! Dude This is exactly the same thing my car did earlier this week what was it you replaced...

Thanks a bundle. I've got an 07 Malibu SS that wont go forward. I didn't realize this was a trend with those Malibus

Thank you

No problem, glad it helped

You're very welcome

Very possible

Have you checked the line yet? I'm curious because mine was running perfect and then it just acted up all at once. But I suppose if the crack in the supply tube was just starting then your pump could keep up with it until it finally let loose all together but that would truly be a guess.

@@blakessite no not yet, it still functions somewhat at this point. If you start it up amd go directly into drive instead of reverse it works a little better. So im lookimg around to see where they have one of those trans oil sending units in case mine is bad. Also trying to figure out what type of metal it is made out of. I can mig weld and im starting to tig weld but i dont know if that is too powerful.

It's just steel tubes mig should be fine. But when you're done make sure to air check it. Mine still had some small leaks so I just flowed some solder over the joint. Like I said at I don't know if that's the same problem. Mine never acted up at all it just went from good to bad. I would try to add some tranny fluid about 1/2 qt. And see if it changes at all

@@blakessite yeah i planned to add some trans fluid tomorrow and see how it does. I have to be honest, the way you decribed filling and checking thr fluid i have done before but im jot looking forward to the exhaust system being the way as u described

Oh yeah checking the fluids sucks I wouldn't even do that at this point. I would just add a half a quart see what happens. If it was full a half a quart more would still be okay and if it's low you should notice it help some. If it helps then you are going to have to go through the fluid check procedure and make sure you got enough fluid in it.

2011 version prob different eh?

Was it different? I have a 2011 Chevy Malibu that’s doing the same thing

Just to reply with the results. The model is 6l80e, unfortunately not the same model as Blake was showing, so once I removed the filter, I didn't see anything like what the photos illustrate. I drained the pan, installed a new filter, and refilled the system with Dextron VI, about six quarts. Unfortunately the unit was still dead. Taking the vehicle to a local transmission shop, the first thing they found bad was one of the plastic balls used as check valves in the valve body. The plastic deteriorates, loosing its shape and eventually no longer functions, the fluid just goes around it. Worse case, the ball breaks up and it travels through the system. The system was taken apart, because of the drop in pressures from the bad valve, many of the clutch disks were somewhat burned. The transmission was repaired, new clutch disks, the plastic assembly that has the solenoid valves (can't remember the name), the balls, and a new torque converter. It ran over $4K, 12,000 mile warranty. I asked if it was a common problem with these transmissions, yes, because GM chose to save some money and not use metal balls. Unfortunately, when they used to use metal balls, they just ended up wearing out the metal separator plate. It's a design flaw, I need to find of GM can do something about it as it was premature for the failure. When the shop sees this failure, the transmissions are usually 120 - 130 K miles.

My concern, not knowing the statistics on this problem, I am beginning to feel that this is a timebomb just waiting to happen. I know that GMC has many thousands of these transmissions out there with no problems, but why me, at as it turns out, less than 82,000 miles and I've been very careful with the vehicle. Does anybody know if I have any recourse with GMC, although the vehicle is out of warranty? Jim

Glad it helped

No, no problems at all and I've put 40,000 miles since

Update , just turned 280,000 still works

Update 315,000 all good👍

that would have to be a different problem. Because when you put it in D it starts in 1st automatically. It almost sounds like a linkage issue. Also check for recalls their were some on the shift cable on certain vehicles

Sorry to hear your having tranny problems. I have not had those exact conditions happen to me. So I don't know for sure what is causing that. At the risk of talking just to talk (LoL) I will throw out there that it may be possible the one of the lines is slightly cracked allowing enough fluid to keep the vehicle moving. But either way it is easy enough to check. Pull the pan remove the filter and pull the lines off for inspection. Obviously if you can see a crack it is A problem and weld or braze or replace them accordingly. Also if you air check them (by blocking one end and applying air to the other with soapy water on the lines looking for bubbles) you can tell for sure if they are leaking. Good luck!

We have had the usual snow problem maybe even worse here in Kentucky so the pinched line makes more sense. I appreciate the reply and hopefully that's the problem. Thanks!

I removed the pan and I could see a broken belt. I wasn't about to pay $1,600(buddy price) for it to be rebuilt with over 212,000 miles on it so I sold it to a used car lot. Thanks for the help!

Hope it helps

When you replaced the part did it work?

Your very welcome

Got em!!!

No engine light on mine. But when you say similar mine just stopped moving forward.

It is possible if the tube is just starting to crack I could see that happening

Hey man you get that resolved?My impala started this just recently and I'm stressing out

Ended up needing a transmission. Turns out the lines were fine. But I think it's worth a shot for you to check yours. I wish you all the best.

That is possible although it seems like it's pretty stout

I appreciate it 🤜 lol

Glad it was helpful

Same problem same car you figure it out or was it this ???

I've put about 70,000 miles since the repair
