OK, so my Sport has just been sitting in the driveway and my parents are getting pissed. So, I decided to take a gander at it today, but after taking the pan off, I thought, I just want to get this fixed, so I didn't do much. I took of the metal bracket that holds the 4 solenoids, the EPC is what I was after. I took out the EPC and inspected it, and it looked like brand new. So, I put it back in there and tightened everything back up, and then I put fluid back in it. I start it, and NO REVERSE. At all. The problem is that my dad's going to be pissed when he finds me parked in the Charger's spot, with no way of getting out. What could I have done? Actually, I only have low gears as well. I have to put it in either 2 or 1 to get the transmission to engage. When I put it in neutral, it goes in neutral, but nothing happens in R and then of course P works. It's really weird since I didn't mess with anything really.

BTW I checked the gasket, and looks perfectly fine, as it should with only 2 miles.

Let me know what could possibly have happened.. Thanks.
 












Did you fill the transmission with fluid after dropping the pan? Also did you make sure the o-rings on the filter were in place before re-installing it if you did remove it.
 






yea, I pushed it out and pulled it back into it's spot, but now it has to be pushed again to move it. I'm sure the o-rings were on the filter because it kind of 'clicked' into place when I put it back in, but I didn't actually check.
