If the trans fluid is full and clean, then either there is a problem in the valve body or there isn't enough pressure being produced to engage the clutch packs.

IF YOUR LINKAGE IS STILL INTACT AND MOVING EVERYTHING RIGHT (WATCH UNDERNEATH WHILE SOMEONE ACTUATES THE SHIFTER--VEHICLE "OFF")----MIGHT BE TIME TO VISIT A TRANNY SHOP

MAYBE TO AID YOU A BIT MORE...CALL AROUND TO THE AUTO SALVAGE YARDS, ESPECIALLY THE SMALL GUYS---GET SEVERAL RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THEM AS TO WHERE YOU MIGHT FIND A REALLY GOOD, INEXPENSIVE TRANNY MAN....THEY'LL KNOW BETTER THAN ANYONE.

IF A NAME POPS UP OVER AND OVER---THIS MIGHT BE YOU!

I HATE THE BIG SHOPS THAT RIP YOU A NEW ONE
