i did notice that when i start it then give it gas in any gear (which won't engage at all) it sound like some sorta fluid moving in there like a pump pumping, but i got nothing. any thing else i could do to try and fix it?
It took me 11 qts on each of my SVXs, so try more. Replace the external tranny filter as well; it could be the one clogged. Then you have an internal filter yto replace when you remove the tranny oil pan. Try bypassing the radiator by putting a rubber hose adapter that would connect the output hose to the input hose. The try the gears. But DON'T drive the car with this bypass; this is just for testing. Also check the tranny resistor behind the battery, just in case. If she comes alive, replace the external filter with a Permacool Delixe Kit and add a tranny oil cooler. Keep us updated.
