Ok well i pulled the tranny down today and took it apart just now and i looked at the pump, pump looked fine, gasket was in place properly but the torque converter was almost empty, i filled it up before i put the trans on the motor, and now i filled it again after i took the tranny back down. well needless to say i still have no fluid passing through the cooler lines. whats the deal with that? anyone have any ideas? this is driving me nuts, i had the rear up on jack stands and started it and the wheels started turning??? wtf?? wow this really has me stumped. when i drained the trans fluid i did get less back then what i originally put in there though. wow, am i missing something here? any ideas would be greatly appreciated if you wanna call me that would be cool too, im outside under the monte, cell# 757 581-0381 if anyone has any ideas, id greatly appreciate it before i send this damn tranny out, which thats the last thing i want to do id like to fix this myself but im running out of ideas. thanks,Joe
