Hi!
Sorry! I have to skip Mantorp!
I have a bit of a "situation" here when it comes to
cash!
Spent far too much money on the car this & last
month, I'm approx $400 short.
Hopefully I'll get most of it back from a club
I paid for a garage spot.
I paid them 3 months In advance
before realizing I can't afford that kind of money
for a garage spot, but they promised me that I'll
get a 2 month refund (fingers crossed)
So my car's back where my mom live, got a
garage spot there at a car reconditioner for $20
a month.
Sadly this makes it a bit harder to work with the
car at the moment :-(
Best regards
Pelle

Too much will foam.
And this will cause some parts of the trans to not get
fluid. Start with 2.5 liters. I think that's 3 quarts. You should have
drive with that amount. Then do what I wrote in the reply about running your
engine. You don't know if this is a good trans? Did you just install it? Did
you fill the torque converter. That will also cause it to not engage. If you
failed to fill the converter add a 1/2 quart at a time while the engine is
running and let the pump fill the converter. Not the best way to do this
though. Keep check the dip stick. If you put too much you can siphon it
out.

When we put it back together we started with
adding 3 liters( I think it is about 6 pints) to it, then we started
up the car. We checked the level and had to add 3 more. To me I think this
is too much but I don't know??
Can you mess it up with too much
oil???
We don't know for sure if this was a good
transmission. Joe was told it was, and it was in the car when we got
it.

Dave, it sounds
like you don't have enough fluid in the trans. If the fluid level is low
especially when cold, complete loss of the forward gears will
result. Run the engine at a fast idle with the trans in park for about
2-3 minutes. Let the idle come down and check the fluid level. Be sure
you use DEXRON to fill it and the car is sitting on level ground. Keep
the engine running while you fill it. If all you did was drain the pan
add 3 quarts then check the level as described above. One thing to keep
in mind is there is only 1 pint difference between the add and full mark
on the dip stick. This will be a cold reading so after you drive
the car and get the trans up to temp. check it again. There is not much
you can move or disconnect just working on the parking pawl so this has
to be your problem. Be sure you used a new "O" ring on that dip stick
tube or you may have a leak.. Hope this helps you out. Low fluid is the
quickest way to grenade a trans.

We have a problem with the transmission,
NO forward drive gears. The transmision pan was leaking and had
no park, so we changed the filter, gasket and fluid. It is a 400
Turbo.Reverse is working.
1:Could Joe have moved something, or hit
something when he was fixing the park pin?( it was just
jammed)
2:How many litres,pints
does it take when just removing the pan and filter?( Had to find dip
stick tube and bought new dipstick and was wondering if we have the
right level?)
3:Will to much oil make it not work
also?
The car
is getting really close now!!!!
Thank you in
advance!!!
