4L60E no go I just installed my new transmission and after adjusting the shift cable and adding fluid I finally got it started. The problem is i don't have any gears. The light on the dash comes on under each gear but the truck won't move in any gear. Whats the deal? Any help you guys could offer would be great.
ummmmm doesn't sound good...lets start here ...how much fliud did you put in?? Are you sure you had the torque converter all the way in??? Very common for the converter to slide forward on the install...You didn't force the transmission to the back of the engine??? pull the dip stick with the car off...note where the fliud is on the stick....start the car in park and re check the level...it should have fallen ..if not you more than likely have a miss stab on your hands ...Hope this helps..Dave

The converter was all the way in and the transmission slid onto the motor very smoothly. I rotated the converter while a friend pushed the transmission forward to make sure nothing bound up. I believe the oil stays at a constant level but I will go check. I added about six quarts.

I forgott to mention it has a TCI deep pan and filter. Is six quarts not enough oil. When I first started the truck there was oil on the dipstick and the level never seemed to change. Now after it has sat for about a half an hour the level seems low. Whats the deal?

I added fluid until it was full on the dipstick then started it. Usually it draws fluid out of the pan and I just keep adding it to keep it at the full line until no more was need. I think there must have been some sort of are buble at the pump because I was able to pull a cooller line and use a vacum style pump to draw fluid through the transmission. Once I did this everything seemed to work.
I did have to readjust the shift cable after about two two three hours of driving. Is this normal? Thanks for all the help. I wish I would have found this forum sooner.
