th350 woes
I just bought a 71 Custom Camper/20 with a 88-90 model 350 engine and th350 tranny. The tranny does not engage in any gear. It feels like it is in neutral all the time. I noticed just before dark that there is no vaccume connected to the modulator. Would this keep it from going in gear? I am really puzled as it will not even try to move.

Re: th350 woes
Does it feel like it "clicks"into each gear?

Re: th350 woes
The modulator(vaccuum) line will not keep it from shifting, it will however affect how/when it shifts. Linkage?

Re: th350 woes
I know you said it won't engage in any gears, but that sounds like a broken direct drive ring, reverse an L1 SHOULD work, if not, sorry I couldnt help

If you have all the above sounds like rebuild time.
