Transmission problems with new install

1877 Views 21 Replies 7 Participants Last post by  98eldo32v
I needed to replace the transmission on my '03 Deville. The new tranny is all bolted up and filled with fluid to the middle of the cold mark. But when I started the car and shifted through all the gears I'm still got getting anything out of the transmission. I pulled the cooler lines to see if any fluid was pumping, but I'm not getting anything comming out of the lines.

I'm about to pull all my hair out. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could have done wrong or what to check next? And yes I did put the torque converter bolts in.

:yeah:

These transmissions are dry sump units. There should be NO fluid visible on the dipstick with the engine off.
