1986 352 with auto trans with approximately 160k miles on the car.
my son's auto trans was shifting fine but was pouring fluid out the inspection cover, like pouring a stream out, not dripping. so we pulled the trans and the input shaft seal needed replacing. we popped a new one in and put the trans back on. everything went smooth reinstalling the transmission and all went together just like it came off.
now the car doesn't move, at all. it doesn't make the little feeling when you shift gears and you can tell it goes into gear, it doesn't try to move, nothing. I can tell the torque converter is working because when you move the shift lever from park to reverse or drive, the rpms drop down to 800 or so and when you shift back to park, the rpms go back up a little.
what could have happened? when we were putting it together, I made sure and turn the output shaft to see that everything slide back together on the splines up front. nothing went bad and its not my first time doing this to an e30, I have only had about 15 of them over the years and swapped motors and trans and changed flywheels and everything any e30 guy does. I just don't know what could have happened to this one? the car is so close to original that the trans still ahs the vin sticker that matches the car's vin.
