Hmmmmm,
1 check fluid.
2 listen for tranny click as you swing through the gears. (engine off)
3 check fluid pressure. Disconnect tranny cooler line and have wife start it for 2 seconds, should have a nice puddle a few feet away from the open line.
4. Look for rebuild shop.

I've been dubbed the Longhorn Freak/Fanatic/Expert, I just hope I can live up to it.
FINALLY got the HORNIAC...a '70 one ton Longhorn with a Pontiac 350/350 and lots of 'personality'. Check out The Longhorn Webite.

It's probably the fluid. When I first got my '72, it would start and run, but for the life of me I couldn't make it MOVE! I felt really stupid when I pulled the dipstick out..

So, fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls...
Then gently rise and softly call
Goodnight and joy be to you all!
