the tranny fluid was black not red like it should be, i did not adjust the bands i dont know what or how to do that. but i think its the pump in the tranny or something cause it makes a wierd noise in n d 2 1 but not park, thats when the pump is pumping fluid. it will move when i first start it and then if i back up then put it in drive its done and wont move even if i try and put it back in reverse, if i put in neutral and sit for a minute then put it in drive it move im pretty sure if i remember correctly thanks

 

Never let it get black if when you get the trans rebuilt

 

I'm thinking that the bands got smoked as well... Trick your dad into helping you out.

I personally am looking forward to my boys getting a little older. I plan on getting them some old beaters (cool beaters) and restoring them with them beofre they can drive then when they get to that magical 16 they have something nowone else will have but will still appreciate it.

 

ya he will probably help me a little. we got a 1960 mustang and the body is in good condition no rust and i think it might become our project for a father son thing

 

If the fluid went black then I think your tranny is proally smoked bad=sorry for ur lose but if you replace the tranny replace the torque converter too as a preventative measure.and make sure the the new or rebuilt tranny has the linkages and all sensors workin good too.

 

and make sure ur tranny cooler is workin too=see I'm a newbie to threadin=lol

 

thanks for the advice i think i am going to just get a used trany i found one with 72,ooo miles and a 6 month warrenty for 750 in my area. what do u all think

 

thats a okay price. but do you know what condition the trans is in?

 

The grade of it is an A so im sure that means its in good condition and it comes with a warrenty

 

Did they open it up and look at it? I doubt that and that's the only way to know the condition of it. I personally would pull the one you have and take it to a shop to have it rebuilt. It will cost you a little more but with the removal and install done by you it will save some money on labor.
