Check these things first " did it happened all of the sudden or" did it happen over time is this the first time its ever happened ? Has it ever driven with this newly rebuilt unit in it ? If so
1.. is it leaking?
2..is it full?
3..is the fluid dirty?
4..is the acual shift lever stuck in position ?
5..how long agao was it rebuilt and installed ?
6..was the torque converter changed also at the same time ?
Did they replace all the valves/ acuators / servos ect ? In other words was it a full master rebuild or just a refresh ? Many times these tranissions are not fully rebuilt if it was recently done at a shop its most likely still under warenty you can take it back to them..
If this isn't the case then can you please specify ?

These are only a few questions we migh have

But thats a start"

Please let us know and we'll be glad to help
