I threw about 8 or so litres in (all I had) so will get some more tomorrow too

If only 8 litres, you'll need at least another 4 litres?
I think the system takes 12 litres?

So that could be the problem? Or a part of the problem?

Did the Asian man give you his phone no.? If possible give him a ring, & ask what he thinks?

But definitely 8 litres is not enough .

Here’s one chap pulling apart the position selector in a 6L50 which is supposedly the same as in a 6L80… Seems dirty fluid can stuff them up and the6 don’t read correctly even if the rod is being moved correctly.

If you diagnose it as the selector position switch problem and not something else…

A little worried reading this but guessing this is a new install...

Yeah when a new one is put in. Same one going back not needed.

I don’t believe the TCM needs reprogramming if a torque converter is replaced with a standard factory unit. After all, the TCM programming hasn’t been changed and is already programmed and “learned“ for that vehicle variant.

Heck, I’ve read many have replaced a faulty TCM with a used TCM from a same brand and variant of vehicle without issue.

A reset and/or adaptive relearn can help if the transmission shifts harshly after a bad TC or clutch pack repair… Otherwise, nah, probably not …. said from one who’s never pulled an auto transmission apart

Yeah 12 litres but as I said it selected all gears with no oil so don't think it's the volume. Will get some more oil tomorrow and get me levels right after an inspection in case I've missed something...

Easy to miss things…. Like me once filling an engine with new oil after a flush only to see new oil spreading at my feet and sump plug on the fender

I have no idea whether it does or doesn't....Just reposting what was put up as a reminder....

As for me, got to much electronic crud for my liking.....I'll stick with stuff that has wiring for a neutral safety switch and reverse lights....Nothing else

Simplicity is so underrated
