Just installed new verter, Car wont move!!!
I just put in a new TCI Streetfighter in my T/A.
I put fluid in the verter before stabbing back in the tranny, about a quart and a half. Got the tranny and everything back together and the car will not move in any gear. checked the fluid and it shows that it is full. We jacked the back tires off the ground and put it in drive and the tires slowly turn, put it in reverse and they still slowly turn, and still turn in the forward direction. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am baffled..

when you were putting the verter on the input shaft did you rotate it around till you heard the 3 clicks? I know this is a MUST when installing Vigi converters I'm pretty sure it's a normal install for the LS1 converter.

What Josey said. I hope you had the TC engaged all the way in the trans when you reinstalled, the pump is easy to FUBAR, I did it on my first trans install many years ago. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

yup sounds like it didn't get seated in the front pump...if thats the case you most likely need to replace the front pump now as it will be chewed up bad <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
