1990 Convertible automatic not going into gear - just had seals replaced

09-02-2020, 06:35 PM

As noted, 1990 convertible automatic. Runs great but was leaking ATF from both seals. Local shop dropped the transmission and replaced the seals. Car ran and shifted great for about 2 weeks. Tonight i took it out for a quick drive and after about 30 yards it wasn't in gear. Park works as "park", but all other gears are same as neutral. ATF level is fine and electronics seem to be working (reverse lights come-on). starts and revs fine...

It sounds a lot like the thread below. Open to ideas.

my 1st thought is to take it back to the shop who did the work then check that the linkage is connected
