SO here is where i am at now.
Swapped out bellhousing from other box to utilise the oil pump as the other one had crapped out.
All back together and got it all pumping through and got the car moving was moving going through gears great.
Took it up the road to blow the cobwebs out and got a bout 2 miles and car seemed to go into neutral no gears checked transmission coolant line nothing pumping through again...
Any suggestions woud be great.

Do you have the correct filter? I do not recall reading whether or not you have 4WD. The filters are not interchangeable as far as I know.

drdoom is correct, if it is a 4X4 you must use a 4x4 filter the fluid pick up on the 2wd filter is to short in a 4x4 pan. Also are you checking the fluid level with the engine running and in park?

Yes correct filter it is a 4wd i am thinking that i will get another filter today and replace it again, just to eliminate it out of the equation.

Ok so replaced filter and still same no gears no fluid pumping through.
Anything i can check prior to having to throw a tonne of money at it.
Thanks

Get a pressure gauge and check the trans line pressure and EPC pressure.

From looking at the posts on this thread it seems like your tranny likes to destroy it's ATF pumps. Do you think there could be a blockage in one of the passages doing that?

I wonder if the valve body gasket blowing out would cause this issue, with the fluid coming out between the valve body mating surfaces instead of running through the tranny cooler hose where you can see it?
