Hello,

I have a 1980 300SD Turbo Diesel automatic. This morning I backed out using the reverse gear fine. I drove about 300 miles (currently in Temuco, Chile) and parked at a gas station. I tried to back out, and the reverse won't engage. No kick indicating shifting of gear or anything, it feels like and acts like it's on neutral. What's going on?

PS. I checked the fluid (what is that other fluid besides the oil you check near the back?) and it was damn near if not empty. Filled it up and but didn't help.

Thanks,
Elliott
