We ran it through the gears and it's not engaging, even put it in 1st gear nothing.

Dropped the pan all cylindnoids are getting 12v and the grounds are good!!!

The line pressure in 200 psi in park and 250+ in gear!

Also coverter went on 3 clicks?

What else could it be?

Thanks
Andrew

 

What about reverse?
I had a similar issue but it was due to a PCM programming error

 

Did you bolt the converter to the flex plate Andrew? :p j/k...don't know about this one. Those darn A4's can be a pain for sure sometimes.

 

Linkage?

Your line pressure sounds high,I don't think it should be over 190 in P or N.

 

Did you pre-fill the converter with fluid?

Is there enough fluid in it? (checked with motor running)

 

I doesn't sound like it's the transmission. Maybe the converter or PCM related. When I put in a new tranny in my 95 I ended up pinching a wire between the tranny and the tunnel and it would not engage at all. Uninstalled it, reinstalled it and it worked fine. I did not even find out what the problem was until I took the tranny out like three months later and notices that wire had been crushed before.

 

Thanks everyone!!!

In Reverse nothing happens either.

The converter was pre-filled.

The fluid was good, checked it many times.

If you guys can think of antthing esle please let me know.

I'll have to look into wiring

 

Eletrical problems CANNOT cause the transmission not to engage reverse or drive.
The first thing I would do is check Line pressure.The tap is on the drivers side of the trans right above the manual linkage shaft.

 

Put the driveshaft in?

When you select a gear, does the trans feel like it even tried engaging a gear? If not, it's likely the converter. If you give it a little gas, does anything happen (ie. can you feel the converter starting to couple)?

 

We did that 200 psi in park & neutral and it maxes out the gauge in Reverse & Drives 250 + psi.

 

The DS is in :p

It does not feel like it engaging, I have the rpms programmed different(Predator tune)in Park/Neutral 600 rpm's, for Reverse and Drive 900 rpms.

When put in gear the rpms change, but no jerk in to gear, after in gear reved it up to 3000 rpms and it still doesn't move

 

The pressures you stated are way too high for p/n & drive.Looks like the pressure regulator vavle may have been assembled in the bore wrong.If you know someone who knows about the 4L60E,you might not have to pull the transmission back out as this vavle can be accesed through the transmission pan.

 

what about how much space was there between the converter tabs (for the bolts) and the fly wheel? If the converter needed to be shimed would this happen?

 

Did reverse not work on your car?

What was the fix?

Thanks
Andrew

 

Also, could it be the valve body not getting a good seal?
