Need advice about a trans swap i done
Got the 2004 ody trans in mt 2000 3.2tl and everything put back together.I put a total of 7 quarts of dw-1 in the trans,thats including the 1 I put in the torque converter before installing.I reused all solenoids and sensors from the tl trans except one sensor on the very front bottom of the trans that got broke when i was removing the tl trans.The tl trans engaged into gear and was driveable just had a slippage between 2nd and 3rd so the solenoids are good.After the car reaches operating temp the dipstick shows im in the middle of the two dots.The lines running to the aftermarket trans cooler are both still cold as though they dont have fluid flowing.I put it in gear and get no reaction from the car at all.Does anyone know anything i should check before i just go ahead and pull this trans back out?It acts like its not even trying to move almost like i didnt even shift it into gear or reverse.I checked all solenoid screens and valves that were in the old trans and everything was spotless and fluid smelled good so I was leaning toward it being a good trans.

I assume you bought the used oddy trans from a junk yard or an individual seller which means you had no clue as to the overall shape of the trans condition.
Most likely the trans is toast and needs rebuilt assuming you installed everything correctly.
You were better off having your trans from the car getting rebuilt or finding an AV6 and rebuilding it first. In any case a rebuild should have been done before the said trans was put back in the vehicle. I hope you dont have to pull the trans back out but it doesnt look good if you have no line pressure after the car is warmed up.

You've created a TON of threads regarding this unproven transmission and expect people to try and help... I'm not sure what will change by making more threads.. WHY didn't you just listen to those that suggested going with the proven AV6 transmission rather than venturing off the beaten path...

Probably cause those threads have helped me get the car to move with my $120 transmission.If you dont have anything positive to say or help please find someone else to preach to.Thank you Thoiboi
