You think you are stumped??? You have the driveshaft bolted to the pinion yoke and the tires will turn but the DS is not turning??? How are the tires turning without the DS turning the rear-end and hence the axles and then tires??

Please clarify what you mean.

[CamaromanZ28]

okay . we rebuilt the trans . we bolted it back in. I slide the front of the ds in , and i went to put the reat part of the drive shaft in. got it tight . and went to turn it . and it is not turning , the wheels are off the ground i can turn them .but the drive shaft wont turn right , it like locked up. but i can put it in neutral and it wont spin . tires still do

#1. I think you better watch your langauge. (i corrected it)

#2. The drive shaft has to turn to turn the rear wheels.

#3. If you are screwing around on this forum, I'll toast ya.

kapish?

cool. thats fine.

but lets face it..the rear wheels cant turn if the drive shaft does not turn...

thats like moving your fingers on your hand without any arm from the wrist up.......

now that you have explained it thoroughly, you got a problem in the differential.

[Injuneer]

Hmmmmm.... with an open differential, if you have the car in the air and turn one wheel, the opposite side will turn in the opposite direction, and the DS won't turn.

Did you turn both wheels in the same direction at the same time, or only one wheel?

I can't help but feel you just had to repeat your language thing just one more time to prove you could do it. Apparently Ken is a bit less supsicious than I am.

[fastTa]

Well the DS will normally turn if just one wheel is turned on a open differential, but there isn't much force being applied to the pinion yoke to turn the DS so it could just be the slip yoke on the front of the DS hanging up.

My question though is....why aren't you just trying to actually have the car running and put in gear and see if the wheels turn. Then best of all take it out on the street and just see how it drives. You are trying to test things bass ackwards.

Look it is not that i am trying to do the whole language thing , I was appoligizeing for it ... So don't take that into any offense . Another thing is about the car

yes it is that one tire spins one way and another spins the other .. now i took the drive shaft off , put fluid and filter in the trans , started it , put it in gear took my foot off the brake and still the back of the trans shaft is not spinning , could it not be ingaging in the trans ? that is my ?

Sounds to me like a valvebody or band related problem. Have you had a chance to verify line pressure at idle and/or while driving under load? Was this your first time to ever pull apart, rebuild, and put back together an automatic transmisssion??

[CamaromanZ28]

well yes it is my first time taking one apart and rebuilding it , me and my step father and my mom all did it . looked at a rebuild book and all . we put new clutches in a seals , did eveything like it said about . so i have no clue what to do or think right now ... no i have not had a chance to clarify line pressure or anything of that matter ...

Sooo, you expect somebody on the internet to troubleshoot your first time home rebuilt transmission?

[CamaromanZ28]

We'll not exactly . I was hoping for some ideas you know it doesn't hurt .To ask what other ppl think . I mean you know how it is .. I rather ask ppl that are into camaros and all then watse my time with some one that is not . But you do have a point


IT is up and running , but not reverse gear .... so that is a good thing that is it runnin now ....

Have you made SURE that it shifts into 2nd gear and overdrive??

[FroSSty]

Unfortunately, it sounds to me like you have to pull the tranny again and go back through each step in your book and make sure everything is right...It could be something really simple but you won't know until you tear back into it. And I understand how frustrating this can be because I've been there with other projects, but you will get better results from this board if you slow down a bit and explain things better. oh yeah and use less harsh words...
Just an opinion...
