We have a 1987 Rockwood Chevrolet that had the engine rebuilt, new tires put on it and it belonged to our friends who are Veterinarians. After they did all this they let it set for 10 years only driving it about 20 miles four or five times. We purchased it from them and the first week was July 4th and we took our Grand daughter to Jellystone Park in Indiana from Ohio. Nine miles away from there we were driving 60 miles per hour and the transmission went out, we drove in first gear along side of the highway at 35 miles per hour until we got to the RV Park. This was a one and a half hour drive and it took us 5 hours to get home going 35 miles per hour down RT. 40 to get it back home. We are first going to have the transmission power flushed to see if it gummed up sitting so long and if that is not it my husband is taking the transmission off and taking it to a Transmission shop to have it fixed. Does anyone have any idea's why it will drive in first gear and what may be wrong with it? Do you have any idea's that you care to offer? This is a really nice older RV and has good care but has not been driven since the engine was rebuilt which they paid $7,000.00 to have rebuilt. We got it at a good price but maybe not if it needs a new transmission.
