200R4 Trans Probs

[gbodyera]

I picked up a non G Body car today and It has what I believe to be a trans problem. First of all the engine is a 305 and from the pan, the trans looks like its a 2004R. When I put the car in gear, it feels like theres a stall in the trans. The car doesnt move until I get the RPM's a little higher. It doesnt move as soon as I hit the gas. Its like it has to build up rpm for it to move.

Once it does move, sometimes I hear a light tapping noise around the trans. Only when I hit the gas though. Im guessing its the converter.IDK

A buddy of mine came by and tried adjusting some cables under the hood but no luck.

Can you guys maybe point me in the right direction?

TIA

the direction i would point you is to the nearest trans shop, sounds like its pretty well done for i would think, or go to a junk yard and buy a cheap junk yard trans, but then again you never know what you will get when you do that.

Would this happen if the converter isnt all the way on the trans?

 

[ERIC87442]

it would be spewing trany fluid out the front if it wasnt in all the way

Well I found out its a 7--r4 trans. I changed the filter and gasket and now it isnt moving at all.
Now what?

thats about what i woud do after some choice words and throwing things around haha

well i added some more fluid and its back to the same thing. damn this is frustrating. i was hoping for a simple fix due to a line, or some sort of connection but I guess not. New trans????

 

[ERIC87442]

new trans or get it rebuilt, is about all you can do

i found a fast leak where the dipstick assembly goes into the transmission. Could it lose pressure because of that?
