Transmission Trouble
Hello all,
I just replaced the filter and pan gasket on my 76 Turbo 400. I still had it on jack-stands and was just having it idle while shifting into each gear. it did fine until i tried to shift from revers to park. it was grinding big time. it would grind and then go to park. any ideas? :confused: While i was doing this i don't have the half shafts on. could that have anything to do with it? other than that there is nothing else off right now. Any help is appreciated.

Re: Transmission Trouble (tom_red_76)
Sounds like the parking paw slamming into it. were yo running hte car with the rear on jack stands? Hopefully you had the T arms at ride height to prevent damage to the Ujoints on the 1/2 shaft.

Make sure your foot is on the brake, so the wheels are not turning.

Thanks guys for the responses. After i posted i started to think and realized the same thing you guys said i couldn't stop the rotation of the trans because i had no brakes. well now i know and wont mess with it till i get the half-shafts in. thanks to all.
