04 Kia Optima Sign In

I recently purchased an 04 Kia Optima with 159,000 miles. The car ran and drove great for a few weeks then all of a sudden the transmission would not drive forward. The car goes and drives in reverse fine but when i place the car in drive it begins to go forward then suddenly lurches forward and then goes into neutral. There fluid level is fine. Thanks for any help or suggestions

Hello,
Ok, you have the F4A42 Transmission. This trans takes off on the underdrive clutch pack(actually has no forward clutch pack). Common problem for this drum to break at the snap-ring groove, popping out the snap ring and then the car will not move forward. Trans may have to come out
