So I recently bought the car listed above it is a wagon. Well it had a transmission leak so I went ahead and pulled the transmission out of the car. I separated the transmission from the t-case (The car ran and drove before but had a bad leak) so we pulled it apart and got it resealed and put it back in well we ended up pulling it together with the bolts after getting it lined up and having like half an inch of a gap. But now that the car is back together it runs and shifts into all the gears but will not move. Any information would be great thank you!

Hello,

It sounds like the torque converter was not all the way installed and now with the engine bolts up the front pump is broken and will need to be replaced. Sorry this is a common problem while reinstalling automatic transmissions.

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
