is it making any noise? it sounds like you just broke some hard parts. breaking loose then hooking up again hard finds the weak link very quick. in th350's the weak link is usually the sprag or torque converter.try ever gear and see if it moves. if it doesnt move at all in any gear chances are you broke the torque converter.

it wont move in any gear with out it being reved way up then it jerks in to gear for about a sec then out agian. no noise that i can . if its the torque converter no problem. ican get another pretty cheep. not that i want too.. what a pain in the ass!!. i gata redo my oilpan gasket anyways so this is gana be a fun week end!!..is there anyway to tell the converter is f'd with out pulln it ouT? i suppose not. thanx. w.

A tranny guy told me something to try once and worked for me. get longer bolts for the torque convertor where it mates to flywheel and put washers betweent them so that the torque convertor engages further on the forward pump. I took mine out to rebuild it and he said that was all i needed to do because the two areas where the torque convertor grabs were wore down on the ends.

Hope this makes since!!!

pretty common occurance when you start beatin on 35year old parts they tend to expire quickly// nows the time to spend the money and upgrade to a modern built overdrive you can probabally do the whole deal for a bit under 2grand
