The transmission looks like it might be dead. Its not working, at all. Its possible that the torque converter was damaged when we dropped the engine back into the truck, which would be cheaper and easier fix, I’m betting that its the transmission itself. Judging by the condition of everything else that I’ve fixed so far, I’ll be surprised if it doesn’t require a complete rebuild or replacement.

And just when it looked like I was going to drive it soon…
