<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV class=RTE> <P>Hi, sorry to hear that, BTDT. Did you lower and install the tranny and differential as a unit? Is the linkage for the gear position installed properly? It may be misadjusted. Depending on how the transmission was reinstalled, it may have destroyed a few parts inside. It happened to me. They have to be R&R as a unit, or else.</P> <P>Hector Zapata<BR><BR></P></DIV> <DIV></DIV>From: Vanagon Man <vgonman@MSN.COM> <DIV></DIV>Reply-To: Vanagon Man <vgonman@MSN.COM> <DIV></DIV>To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM <DIV></DIV>Subject: New engine, but AT will not engage <DIV></DIV>Date: Tue, 4 May 2004 11:38:35 -0400 <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>Prior to installing my rebuilt engine, my tranny worked fine. Now, that it <DIV></DIV>is installed, my AT does nothing.not so much as a clunk. Now when i worked <DIV></DIV>on the motor, I did take the torque converter off, it did leak some fluid <DIV></DIV>out. But i did reinstall and put the 3 bolts to hold it in place. It spins <DIV></DIV>with the motor. I broke the motor in and bled the coolant in the driveway, <DIV></DIV>adjusted valves, CO mix, etc., and then i was going to road test. But it <DIV></DIV>would not go. <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>I checked fluid, seems OVER FILLED now. what gives? I added no <DIV></DIV>fluid......... <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>Adam P <DIV></DIV>Charleston,SC Coburn, WV <DIV></DIV>81 Westy "The Brick " <DIV></DIV>70 Single Cab "Whitey" <DIV></DIV>74 Beetle "Ol Yeller" <DIV></DIV>73 Transporter (STILL at paint shop) <DIV></DIV>1988 Vanagon Wolfsburg <DIV></DIV>1976 Transporter (New CA bus) <DIV></DIV>1974 412 "Goldmember" <DIV></DIV>Used Vanagon Parts for sale (mostly aircooled) <DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>Tired of spam?
