Auto Tranny(car does not move)

[ja burna]

As the title states, I rebuilt my tranny with 69 miles on it (due to being in the gulf region) and just recently had the torque converter and valve body re-worked. After putting everything back together the car doesn't want to move. You can hear the gears shift when selecting D,R, 123, etc. but no movement. Any thoughts on this??

Put fluid in it . :D

Did you do the "rebuild" yourself ?

If so then you should be able to traqck down the problem .
Is the engine just revving up while the trans is in gear ?
Did you put in a new clutch-pack ?

And WTF do you mean by "reworked" torque converter ?

[ja burna]

The torque converter was modified by IPT as well as with the valve body.. Can't do a five speed swap here since its hard to find parts and shipping overseas is expensive. The tranny was fully rebuilt with all new clutch packs rings, seals etc.. I checked the fluid level and its seems to have enough fluid in it. it takes about wat 4 qts??

The engine doesn't rev while in gear..

The engine doesn't rev while in gear..

So what is happening once the car is started and you put it into drive ?

[ja burna]

nothing it just sits there..

[Teaguer]

Yeah but what happens when you give it gas ?
Does the engine rev and it still does not go anywhere ?
Or does it kind of bog down ?

Are you sure the torque converter was filled with fluid before it was installed ?

[ja burna]

When you select the drive gear, the engine just revs with no movement.. The torque was filled with fluid..

[Teaguer]

Do you carry an M16 or similar assault weapon ?

If so then unload a full clip into your POS autobox .
Then pay the guys that "rebuilt" it a visit .

[ja burna]

I plan on doing that tomorrow morning

Problem solved, the freaking cable for the shifting mechanism came loose when putting the tranny back in! thanx for your help.
