Hi everyone,
I have a 1981 244 GL with 165k miles on it. The 3 speed automatic transmission has started to have some trouble. It started when I was trying to back out of a parking space and the car wouldn't go. It felt like there was something under the wheels. I had it in reverse and it didn't move. I tried it in neutral and it didn't move either. I finally got it to move by putting it in reverse and giving it a little gas. When i did this it reversed very jerkily and then I tried going forward and then back to reverse and everything was fine.

I drove it the other day and from a stop light it made another clunk noise and jerked before accelerating. I am not really sure what the problem could be...maybe bad linkage? how do i check that? Thanks again!

Rob
