new transmission not moving. not atf not wrecked

[dopeskater]

soo i just finished putting my new transmission and transfercase in my 94. it is a little low on ATF but there is enough there for the truck to move. i know the transmission and tcase were good and worked i took them out of my other truck that i was driving and never had problems with them. sooo none of the gears work now that its in my other truck. then when i go to put it back in park it grinds. soo when i split the tranny and tcase apart. is there anyway something couldve happened there? im really stumped and unsure on this. its frustrating. hope someone can help me.

Are you possitive yo got the shift linkage hooked up right? It's a stupid question I know but I was helping my buddy hook up his 700r4 and he hooked his linkage up wrong.

the first time i did the linkage it was upside down and wouldnt move. so now its on there and i change gear i can hear and feel it. im reading that it could be the pump gone. i dont know how it would be gone though cuz i unbolted my converter from my flex plate. im stumped. i really dont want to pull it out again..

I had an s10 that the pump went in. At idle it would make a clicking sound sounded like a the lower end was bad but it will only do it at idle. Do you have any noises when you put it in gear?

are you sure your convertor has fluid?

x2 I think it takes like 4 quarts or so to fill the converter but i cant remember.

when i put it in R N OD D 2 1 there is no noise at all. but if i leave the truck running and go to put it back in park it will try to grind. same as when i try to put the tcase in neutral or 4x4 it grinds there too. and there was fluid in the converter. some did leak out but i dont think all that much did.....

Whats it say on the dip stick? Which converter did you use?

 

[dopeskater]

yeh i think im just gunna dump some atf in. just gotta get some cash to get some. ummm i just use the stock converter. i had two 94 sierra 4x4s and my black truck the one ive been fixin i completely toast my tranny./ burnt up everything. so i used the converter and everything from my green one. everything worked fine on that truck. soo maybe it is just atf i hope..im not sure i should check

Sounds like a converter issue to me. Both trucks were 94's with a 350 4l60e right?
