Just stop. I'll show you what to do at about 3 today. I go to work in about 15 min's so when I get back, I'll tell/show you how to adjust it. The reving thing has me confused though.

Yours is a sport. Most, if not all sports, got them

The adjustemts killed me when I first got the car. It took about 2 hours to get the car to get out of 1st gear. It probaly is your problem. To adjust it, shift the trans into !, or the lowest gear you have. Then loosen the bold holding it togather so you can adjust it. Tie a weight to the coulom shift to keep it in place and shift that to the lowest point. Now they should be *close* if not exact. Tighten the adjustment bolt and put in P. if it starts, your on, then to R, N, Od, D. so on. If it works then you solved your problem. If not, then I have no clue


understand now but what about it going in 1st when its in R and N. i know its in those gears cause it will start in P and N.

The adjustment is off. The way mine is, as the indicater is f-es up, it starts in r. Just because it "feels" like it's in gear with coloum doesn't mean it's in that gear on the tranny. The only advice I can give, as I'm not there to show you, is fiddle with it. I'd have pics but It's raining outside and the light in my garrage is busted.

when i have the tranny in N it starts and goes forward. the indcator is not off it is in the gear it says it is.

So i guess that rules out linkage.


What could it be?

the more and more this makes no sense i wonder if it could be the valve body?

would something with the filter have something to do with it?

Any ideas? if you read this and are clueless say so! i want to know this doesnt make sense to anyone cause they could tell me the solution

Well lets see...

It worked until you fiddle-****ed around with the linkage in the trans, correct?

You might want to revisit that....

it prolly is the valve body.  in a couple months when i take my class where i gotta rebuild automatics i'll come up with prolly a book of troubleshooting things for you to check out if its not fixed by then.  when im taking the class i'll go ahead and get you to give me some questions to ask my instructor to help out.

Like I said....go back to the beginning....

How certain are you that you got it all reinstalled correctly?

Sounds like you're avoiding the obvious painful truth that you screwed up something and have to drop the pan again....
