WTF transmission not shifting!?

[pontiacgp]

open headers can be loud so keep your neighbors happy. Can you thro the mufflers on so you can run it?

I'd have to get it towed to my muffler guy to finish the exhaust. I'd like to get it drivable first. The neighbor is a jerk without my open headers.... Knowing I'm been working my butt off this past month changing the whole drive train.

I need to run it long enough to get the oil hot and check the fluid. I feel like I could still be low and this is why it's not moving????

Yes, it could be low, where is it on the dipstick? I would try another liter(quart) of ATF. Sometimes it needs to sit a bit, wipe off the dipstick and check again.

Sounds like all suggested that it's low on fluid...Just hope you didn't burn anything up when you ran it so low... 8)

 

[censley]

I hope it's just still low on fluid..... I'm dying to test drive this thing!

Make sure to shift it through the gears, back and fourth slowly from 1st to reverse to get that fluid flowing. To me it sounds like either you're low on oil, or your clutches are non-existant. Did you put a deep pan on it?

 

[censley]

I have the standard depth pan. I'll add more oil tomorrow and see what happens.

 

[censley]

transmission completely filled, engages in each gear.... goes nowhere

 

[pontiacgp]

have you the correct torque converter?

 

[censley]

Its the one that came with it, how would I be able to tell? .... its definately not as small as the 200 metric I threw away

Car moves in drive... no reverse
