I was replacing the radiator and forgot to put the transmission fluid tube back, and it leaked out all of it and now the truck only goes backwards, and not forwards. I had to have it towed to my house. Any help?

if you were trying to move it forward with no fluid, it may have fried the front clutch poack.

it sounds like it will have to come out and be overhauled.
