<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>

<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.........
