Ok...so I decide to do a tranny fluid and filter swap today. I have been having some issues with getting in reverse. At first I thought this might help, but I now know that I need to test my solenoids. Anyways...I drop the pan, remove the valve body, clean everything thoughly, and very carefully reinstall everything. I double checked everything and there were no missing check balls, clips, or pins. I go to fill it up with fluid (mind you...while the truck is still on the ramps), but when I go to put it in gear...nothing. It will not engage any gear at all. I dropped the pan again to double check everything, but it is all fine. I put the remaining fluid that I had back in it. I believe that the fluid level was way too low. I ran through all of the gears, and the dipstick still looked dry. I went through five quarts of fluid between dropping the pan twice. I am now out of fluid...until the morning. But shoultn't the tranny engage some gear, ANY gear even if the fluid levels are extremely low? I reset the electrical system by disconnecting the power, but still, nothing. I need to get this fixed tomorrow! Any help would be greatly appriciated!
