Hello!!

So I swapped the transmission, tranny was used but rebuilt a couple months before the car was wrecked, then I got the tranny from the guy who wrecked the car( not a bad accident at all by the way), torque converter came from my tranny guy and is a rebuilt unit.

Before I installed the tranny, I made damn sure to get the torque converter lodged in there, it sat 1.5 inches into the bellhousing.

After installation, I put 8 quarts in, ran the car, shifted slowly in all gears, but the car has to get to 3000 rpm before it moves an inch. This happends in all gears.

I called my transmission guy and from what I described and a bunch of questions he asked, he told me that the tranny pump has failed somehow and that there is no pressure.

Unless the pump was already failed, how can this be? I made sure to seat the torque converter all the way in, am I missing something here? Im surely not going to do this again without air tools!!!

thanks again for all your help!!!
