problem with trans !
Re: problem with trans ! pump is not electronically controlled, however the pressure solenoid is.
If no fluid at all is going to the cooler, don't run the car any more at all... its time to tear the trans apart.

Re: problem with trans ! the trans only has 3,000 miles on it and was working perfect when it came out. It did loose almost all of the fluid during the swap . could the system just need bleeding ?

Re: problem with trans ! Whenever the engine is turning the torque converter the trans pump should normally be pumping fluid.
The pump has to pick up fluid from the pan (sump), pressure up the torque converter and valve body.
Torque converter outlet fluid goes straight to the cooler the back to sump.
Excess valve body fluid dumps to sump.
The cold sump oil level will normally read 1" - 1 1/4" above the high hot level (STABALIZED COLD FLUID LEVEL ENG OFF) ... If the fluid level goes down with engine running *Your Pumping Fluid*
Like Magnus Say's: With enough fluid in the sump to pick up, a cooler line off and the engine running SLOW for just a FEW SECS!! ... Oil flow indicates *Your Pumping Fluid*
If this gets you going, Great. If you're not pumping fluid, well think back over your install and form a prognosis.

Re: problem with trans ! If you removed the converter from the tranny, then reinstalled it, you may not have put it in all the way. This will destroy the pump when you bolt the tranny up to the engine.

BE CAREFUL though. You need to account for ALL broken pieces and you cannot scratch any of the surfaces up.
