Hi there,

You will have to do a line pressure test, if you have no oil pressure at all, the problem may be with the pump or the pump drive, I have no schematic for this transmission to work off, so I will not be able to give detailed advice, may be talk with a local transmission specialist as well, but see if you have oil pressure first.
