Hello all,
I've seen a lot of great help on this forum, but I haven't found a solution for my problem.
6 months ago I had a 87 A4LD rebuilt by a transmission shop. It sat until I had to put it in for the snow season. I just installed it along with a new converter. Now it acts like the brake is being applied when in Reverse, 1st, 2nd, and D. In OD it seems to move normal.
In reverse you can get it to barely move bringing the rpms up against the converter as if the brake is applied. When you let off the gas, the vehicle rocks freely back and forth slightly.
In neutral it acts normal.
In 1st,2nd, &D it will move forward but again like the brake is holding it back (like reverse) Reminds me of power braking.
In OD it seems to move forward without any "brake effect". So I know it's not a real brake problem or a TC problem. I don't know if it will shift because I don't want to damage anything by driving it. (Or have to walk home.)
Checked the fluid level,OK.
Have not connected the OD connector because it is 2 wire and the 88 BroncoII that it is in is three wire. I am told that this wouldn't be my problem though.
I called the transmission shop guy and he said the it could be something sticking in the valve body because a rebuilt doesn't like sitting around w/o fluid. (in other words, it is my fault, no warranty)
Any help would be appreciated. I'm really hoping that it is something dumb that I did that is easily fixed.
