Finally after almost a year I got to drive my car on the road,I had good enough brakes and all so I could. The trans was fine in the driveway and parking lot but it has no high gear at all,shifts into...nothing.Sure put a damper on my much anticipated maiden voyage.Anyone have any input on this??

Was the transmission ever rebuilt? If so, it sounds like the rear sprague is installed backwards (direction of rotation). The stock sprague has brass drag strips, (to reduce clunks while shifting), they need to face to the rear of the car.Bez Auto Alchemy

In regards to checking the AT fluid level.....I believe the Owners Manual as well as the Shop Manual, states to check with the engine running, the fluid at normal operating temperature, and the gear selector in the DRIVE position. If it not in drive, the fluid level will be at a higher level. In drive, the fluid is in full circulation. Just an extra thought. Hope this helps.

Borrowed Bams50's sigline here:
"Do they all not, by mere virtue of having survived as relics of a bygone era, amass a level of respect perhaps not accorded to them when they were new?"
