Default 4l60e Problem.

So I went to take my car on its first drive today after the lt1 swap and after putting it in gear there was no movement at all. I tried every position on the shifter (including reverse) and nothing. Previously during the day on the jack stands we tested it with no wheels on it and it rotated in d and reverse, but it seems under weight it wont move at all. I took off the upper trans cooler line from the radiator and there wasn't anything flowing out. Does anyone have an idea what is wrong?

For reference it is a motor/trans from a 97 z28 that was driven into my garage before I began the swap, so I know the trans was working. I also deleted cruise control and acr, but I do not believe that would have an effect on the gears engaging.

I'm having a similar issue...I'm subscribing to see if anyone can come up with any good ideas.

Right now I'm trying to see if I put in enough fluid. Also wondering if I "have" to have the little gearshift selector plugged in (it currently is not). Talking about the little black thing that bolts on over the shift lever.

Good luck!

did you separate the motor and the tranny? and if so did you make sure the converter was stepped in all the way?
