This answer depends on how much are you really willing to spend? There's a few ways to go about it and the least to most expensive I would say first pull codes off your tcm. What do they say or tell you??? If you have the tools and are competent buy a repair manual like Chilton or haynes. Then proceed to price out your options. #1 swap tranny's w a junkyard one. # 2 pull it and have it rebuilt then install #3 buy new and have a shop install it (that way you get a warranty) but at this point your probably gonna spend more then the cars actually worth. If your mechanically inclined and have the tools the first thing that should be done is pull the codes if none proceed to visual inspection drain the tranny fluid and look at it, Drop the pan, Inspect for debris like metal aluminum shavings inspect the valve body your looking for any signs of wear or broken parts. Like I said there's a wide range of solutions depending on how much you want to fork out based on the damage that has already been done.

Hey there, HHR driver!
Well, a 2007 HHR with a transmission sounding like a rock crusher and refusing to engage any gears is a bit of a tough spot. If you're hearing noises reminiscent of a rock concert in there, it's usually a sign of serious internal transmission issues.
Now, the real question: repair or crusher time? It boils down to a simple equation – how much sentimental value does this HHR hold for you, and how much are you willing to throw at it?
Transmission rebuilds can get pricey, especially if you're diving into the internals. If the car has sentimental value or is in pristine condition otherwise, it might be worth the investment.
On the flip side, given that it's a 15-year-old vehicle with over 100k miles, repairing the transmission is probably not worth the high cost on your HHR. If the HHR has seen better days, and the repair costs are approaching the value of a small nation, it might be time to bid farewell.
Always consult with a qualified mechanic to make the best decision for your situation. Ultimately, it's a decision that depends on your attachment to the car and your budget. Sometimes it's a tough call, but it's all part of the automotive journey. Good luck!
