hi my mate just bought a vl with which had a nearly ****ed auto in it we went out and as you do with a new car flogged the ass off it which realy strained the tranny so i had one here which has been sitting in my shed for about 8 months we decied to change them over have done this but now wont select gears at all if in reverse the lights come on but it just wont move im just wondering if maby we didnt line the torque converter up properly or if there could be a problem because the tranny has been sitting around ??? PLZ HELP ME

how did u put on the torque convertor? did u line it up on the box or did u bolt it onto the flex plate then slide the box on

hi i slid it onto the box then bolted it all up together just wonderin if the 2 holes on the shaft coming out of the gear box need to be lined up and weather this would maby explain my problem

sounds like no pressure... first off recheck fluid level

if not id say yeah converter isnt lined up with the oil pump n by bolting it up like that the front of the pump wouldve collapsed.. time for another new trans if thats the case

also got two six-pot autos out of a vn and a vt wouldnt be of any use too me in the 304 vl would they?

is the right transmission oil in it? (e.g. DEX III or what ever it needs), and make sure the correct amount is in there 2 (e.g. 3ltrs or what ever it says)
and check there is no oil split or leaking, because oil leaking onto the exhaust causes smoke hope this help mate
