Re: help trans wont engage in to gear

Tranny codes can be read without a reader. There are directions in the "how to" documents at the top of the page. They involve moving the shifter and using the "manual" button in a certain order to cause a blinking code through the power light.

You can also read ECU codes by plugging certain wires together and counting the "check engine" light.

Re: help trans wont engage in to gear

help please still cant figure it out drained the trans pan got 6 quarts and it was clean and no metal in it so put it back in and put 3 more quarts in, that did not help.

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.

Did you drop the tranny pan and replaced the internal screen filter? How much fluid did you add?

You need to check if the intake of the tranny is clogged or something is preventing the fluid from being circulated. So your homework is to get a WIX internal filter kit model 58969 and replace the internal filter and pan gasket (don't forget to install the new o-ring for the new filter too). Then add about 10 qts of ATF (Valvoline or Castrol Dexron III or compatible). Just check for the obvious things that might not be seated correctly.
