Hey I need some help with this one. Just got done bleeding my brakes in the vette. Was gonna test it up the road. And when I put it in any gear it just feels like it's on neutral. And when I give it gas just revs. I made sure the shifter is moving the linkage and it is. What else should I look at?
Yes fluid is good. And yes I looked at the shifter linkage on the side when someone shifted it for me and it moves as it should. I don't have no gears. I can't even feel anything engage. It just goes into whatever gear I put it in without any feel of it catching.

do you have reverse?

Check the pivot bolt that the linkage is a attatched to that goes into the transmission. If that nut comes loose then the linkage will still move but will not rotate the rod that goes into the transmission.
The rod will have a flat on it to position the linkage correctly and a nut to hold the linkage in place.

Nope wasn't it. I'm thinking it's this lol. Do you know what size bolts I need?

you posted a picture of a flex plate. the flex plate bolts to the crankshaft and torque converter, so which bolts are you talking about and why would all of them neatly fall out without you hearing anything?
This hole circled does bolts go there? Cause it was a project car

It takes 3 bolts. there will likely be 6 bolt holes in the flexplate, however it is two sets of 3 , one set will be the right bolt circle and the other set won't line up with the converter holes.
Alright thanks man! I'll let you know how it goes this weekend. Oh yes will I need nuts? And what's the torque on the bolts. And do I need to put any kind of loctite

82 won't move in gear
Sorry, though we were dealing with a TH350 here.
