Do you shift it into forward before you shift into reverse? Sometimes that helps getting it into gear.

If your coolant is low, you need to top it up. Pretty simple.

Maybe you could describe your boost problems a little better. Better yet, just take it to the dealership; I am sure they will have no problem understanding what the problem is. You are still covered under the 60k/5 year powertrain warranty.

the coolant is easy to do which i top it up aready, tranny i have been shifting to 1st then reverse for a long time, since reverse is not easy to get into, i will have to ask the dealership to replace that damn shyt tranny.

i have no idea with the boost, it will boost on 1 bar and then bam..it went back to half...could there be a leak on my BOV? or a leak o nthe boost gauge or a BAD turbo?
