Q: Car will not catch gear except in reverse.
1995 V6 Toyota Camry. Recently had my left driving axle replaced. Car seemed okay, then I started to notice something odd. When car is put in drive2/L it doesn't move at all. Although when I put the car in reverse everything seems okay. Tried refilling trans fluid, but haven't had any luck doing so. Please help
