finally I have my rebuild 455 running sweetly in my '69 Electra and last week I wanted to drive it for the first time in the 2 years I have the car so I topped up the tranny and selected all gears, reverse worked well but Drive and L2 and L1 didn't.
Yesterday I adjusted the shift linkage which I thought must be the cause but again no drive.
When I select drive I hear the engine rpm going down a bit and the car rolls very slowly forward and it doesn't roll faster when I push the throttle.
The car has 50.000 miles on the clock which I believe can actually be true so I think the tranny should be in a reasonable condition.
Does anybody have a clue what this might be?
I have the car 2 years now and before I bought it it was standing still for at least 1 year (but probably it was a lot longer) with very little ATF in it.
