guys im putting back my tranny today bolt the torque converta blots on connect up the shifter cable put the car in drive and the converta is not spinning, if i spin the wheel the other wheel spins but not the converta ived tried it in all different gears, i didnt put any tranny fuild as yet can this cause it? if i turn the crank pully it turns the converta but not the wheels the car is on a hoist.

 

i didnt do these steps as yet can this cause it.

Install the starter. Connect the cables to the starter. Connect the lock-up control solenoid valve and shift control solenoid valve connectors. Connect the speed sensor connectors and the transaxle ground cable. Connect the transaxle cooler hoses to the joint pipes

 

The auto tranny needs ATF to operate. The clutch packs are engaged by oil pressure. No oil = no gear.

</TD></TR></TABLE>Sounds like you just turned the crank pulley with a wrench. I hope you didn't start the engine & try it without any oil in the tranny.

 

i got the car running today, i pour way too much ATF could this cause harsh shifting? also im using dexron 3, i cannot move the shifter out of park unless i stick the key in that slot and move it. also if i try to put the car in park with it running i can hear the tranny making noises like if something is caught of hooking inside the tranny, maybe this is the reason y the flex plate broke, all other gears are fine.

fluid is at proper level shifting improved just a bit, maybe the tranny is wrone out.

Out That, In Some Honda ATF

 

though manuals do call for dextron II (or newer) honda ATF will never do u wrong

 

Lots of people have told about harsh shifting when using Dexron in place of Honda ATF. Honda says use Dexron as an emergency temporary substitute.

 

You can also put in an additive to help with the harsh shifting but, I strongly recommend going with Honda ATF.

 

If you can put the tranny back into park and it grinds and all you need to check to make sure your axles are locked into the transmission properly. If the lock pin dosen't go in right during the install the axles can slip out causing this....I've experienced this first hand.

 

did you turn the converter three times before you bolted it to the flex plate? and you bolted the flex plate up to the motor right?
