Well not sure what could be the main reason, but a guy i know put the tranny in his car and he said when he first started the car on stands the wheels moved. He put the car down ready to drive and the car does nothing but rev??

The tranny was full of fluid, would that mean the pump is bad?

 

Unhook a cooler line and start car if fluid does not spray then yes the pump is bad likely broken during trans installation from converter not being fully seated

 

trans is out of the car now. Any way to test while out?

 

look into the pump where the converter goes in if there are not two tags in there or they are laying loose thats the problem

 

I can double check but you kinda have me lost on what your talking about?

 

well you see the two slots in the converter well there are two tangs in the pump that they set on when the converter is not fully inserted its breaks them off. It should be pretty obvious when you look. If not take a couple pictures of the front of the pump and the converter snout and send or post them and we should be able to tell you.

 

yea i looked in at the pump now and they are still there, I have pics of the pump. I took it out and split it. Heres a few pics of it. You can see the Tags also..

Well the pump rotor assembly seems fine, Its hard to tell though but from the last picture of the PR valve it may not be seated against the wall . But I am not sure if it isnt its close.

Fluid looks pretty bad though. There may be some internal issues clutches etc from the looks of the fluid

 

well i talked to the guy and he said when he took the lines off after the car was running that, there wasnt any fluid coming out of the lines..... so that makes me think the pump?

 

Well I see no reason in those pictures why that pump would not pump , I would check that the cooler lines are not blocked does not make sense

 

Who built the trans? Someone I know is having a similiar issue.

 

i couldnt tell ya?? i have no clue
