1999 GSX bad transmission?

[speedster39]

I’ve recently seen a 99 GSX for sale and would like to acquire it. The owner says the car must be towed because of a bad transmission, but the engine still runs. The bad part is that the car cannot go forward or reverse not even an inch. He claims it might be the transmission fork. I would like to tow it home and fix it, but without moving the car an inch I cannot push the car onto a tow dolly. Is the only part broken is the transmission or are the transfer case and rear differential also broken. If I remove the axles and unbolt the driveshaft, will the car move when pushed?

Yes it'll move if you do that but honestly sounds like a lot of work. Why not jack it up and place some rollers under the tire to get it onto the trailer? Should be easier than pulling all the shafts and driveshaft.

Read the last post, may help you get it into neutral to get it rolling.

Same thing happened to my 95 gsx a year after I purchased new and it was bone stock except for intake. Dealer replaced tranny under warranty. It was literally pulling the tow truck when they tried to winch it onto the flatbed.

+1 on Twistaye response. But be careful if you're on an incline since you will not have brakes. Another option is you can call a tow company and explain the situation.

First remove the Tcase and check if it moves it could be only the rear differential being brocken.
