Jan 20, 2012 at 1:23 comment added user1435 i have the same problem. i was in a snow bank, i tried to go back and forth several times, however,i did not abuse the car. i have a 1997 olds 88ls. the car will not go backwards now. when i put it in reverse, i can feel a very slight pull on the motor, very slight. i can drive the car. i don't feel like spending a lot of money on my car.
