I installed a loaded input drum and new front and rear planetary s, now only have reverse, no forward movement, rear plant went out which took out input drum, why i replaced input and plants, I've gone through it twice with a manual and everything shows correct. I did not touch the valve body front pump is rebuilt. So why is there no drive movement.

Do you have any trouble codes? I would run the codes to see if any are stored. It sounds like the 1/2 shift solenoid is not working, also can I ask if the shift indicator is working? Does it show you are in drive?

You can remove the solenoid and test it with 12 volts and ground, you should hear a click sound. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes.

Thank you for your response but do you by chance have a better pic of the friction and steel plates in order they go in the input drum, please. Apparently that's where I keep screwing up, it shattered the last input drum so I had nothing to go off of to rebuild this one, this is my 3rd attempt.
