Please Help- Trani head scratcher

[chris2013]

I recently rebuilt my A4LD from my 94 Ford Ranger RWD. I used the Transgo correction kit, followed instructions meticulously, and used proper lubriction and also added sonnax boost valve and manual valve index spool from sonnax. I also replaced both selenoids for ***** and giggles since I had the whole thing apart. I put back together with a new filter, tourqed down everything to proper specs, and filled with Lucas trani fluid, also used a qt. of lucas transmission fix. I started her up and nothing, no gears.
I am wondering if I possibly hooked up the selinoids incorrectly, or if I possibly put the manual valve index spool in the opposite position as there were 2 ways I could have put it due to the fact that it is connected to that swinging right angle thingamagigger-( I know Im not too knowladgable but F%&$ that- thats how rednecks learn. Gimmie some Help!!!

Hey Chris. Merry Christmas!

Rear through Glacier's A4 VB rebuild thread. That will wallk you through the rebuild process. I used it with great success.

If you hooked up the solenoids incorrectly that would not prevent you from getting movement. I would check to see if there is any pressure in park.

Did you half fill the converter before you installed it?

I used his thread to rebuild the valve body. How do I fill the tourque covo half way if I havent broke the trani from the engine?

How do u check for pressure?

Sounds Like the Torque Converter did not seat into its bushing and pump , If So your going to need to replace the Torque converter and the Bushing in the Bell housing , If you Get a Trans Pressure Gauge It will tell you If your Pump is making pressure and tell if your TC is your problem .

Oh, sorry it sounded like you rebuilt the trans from your first post.

Sounds like you did something wrong. There is a pressure port on the driver's side of the trans behind the linkage. PM me your email address and I will send you a manual.
