No relatives that I know of, but that's a good idea to ask.
I dropped the pan and changed out the filter and gasket (even though the gasket and filter actually looked pretty solid). I put in 4 quarts of fluid and let it warm up. Nothing. I continued putting in fluid, 1 quart at a time. After four more quarts, the fluid started bubbling back out of the fill tube and I lost about a quart. But, lo and behold, the car moved!! I kept playing with the linkage until I thought I had it right, but there is still no "click" when the transmission engages. But it did go forward and backwards, and the brakes even worked to stop the car with no problem.
What are the positions of the selector shaft on the transmission in regards to the position of the shifter? It seems like the shaft should be turned as far as it will go in a counter-clockwise direction to get it in park. Is that correct? My linkage is really loose and I need to get it adjusted and connected properly. Any help?
