OK, well its been so long, but I got the tranny completly in today. So I go around and hop on in, start it up. push the brake, put it into reverse, nothing. just like with the other tranny. So its obviously not that, and i just spent money changing the transmissions when i didn't need to. So does anybody have any idea what could be wrong? I'm wondering if its the computer. I had pulled the codes with the old tranny, but i tried with this one and it doesnt work. No light blinking. I can't think of anything else this would be other than the computer. I am about to give up. I'd probably buy another dsm, but with a manual and turbo this time! Yeah well tell me what you think. thanks.

Pretty obvious ones to check are you made sure to bold the torque converter up to the flex plate and make sure the tranny is full of fluid. Is the torque converter new or remanned? does it feel like it engages when you put it in gear (drag engine idle down a bit or make the car shake at all)

torque converter is bolted up to the flex plate. it wouldnt start if it wasnt. i thought it should have taken more fluid but after 4 or 5 quarts it was full. when u put it in a gear, the engine revs up a little bit but does not go into gear. i had it in reverse and on the little hill that its on started to roll forward. so no engine drag at all and no shaking.

Is it a rebuilt tranny or a different used one? If its used there is a slight chance that the same thing is wrong with it. Did you get a new torque converter? Another thing you could check it make sure when you put it in gear it moves the lever on the tranny, and that the linkage isnt broken somewhere. You did make sure to have a quart of tranny fluid inside the torque converter before you put it on?

its used with 80k on it. came out of a car identical to mine (year, trim) that was running. the torque converter is from that car too. i didnt think to put fluid into it, but you could see it inside. i took the computer out to see if anything looked burnt up. while having the computer out, i tried it again and it did the exact same thing as with the computer in.
