My duster has a a999 out of a 85 dodge pu that has worked great for awhile until last weekend the converter hub broke. Had the converter fixed, removed front pump and cleaned it, installed new gasket, o-ring, bushing and seal.
Just fired it up, nothing! wont go into gear. Also the drive line will not rotate, its like the trans is stuck in park.
Did i knock something loose when i was removing the front pump? going to drop the pan tomm. Thanks in advance, daniel

hi, thanks for your reply, the pump looked great. I had to stake the new bushing in and that was the main reason to pull the pump. I got lucky and the piece that broke off the converter hub was large. Does the trans have to be upright when you pull the pump? I had the trans on the bench when i used a slide hammer to pulled the pump.

ok, will do a pressure check. What is making me think there is issue with the linkage inside the trans is that when you disconnect the driveline from the rearend and place the trans in neutral and try and turn the driveline it doesnt move, feeld like it is in park.

if you removed the front pump..
after re-assembling the trans did you see if you could turn the input shaft by hand??
if one of the clutch packs moved foward, and was not reset or checked to make sure everything was engaged properly...the trans is binding...
also..you have to make sure the converter engages correctly into the pump...
it is alot easier to get everything to fall into place if the trans is on its end..
