Fixed!!!!!!!!!
For real...it is fixed this time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You guys are not going to believe this. While the goof up of no gears except manual low and reverse was truly something that went wrong in the rebuild the rest of the problem was....
wait for it
wait for it
wait for it
The speedometer. It has an Autometer Pro-comp ultra light unit. While the speedo reads perfect, if you watch on the scanner after about 45 mph it starts swinging wildly and as you speed up more it bounces around 25 to 37 mph while you are actually doing 80. The whole time the needle is steady and solid.
Something is backfeeding into the PCM. I unplugged the speedo and all is well. Just took it on a major test with the scanner hooked and the trans guys. It is functioning like a jewel. Better than ever actually since it turns out it didn't need a trans overhaul anyway in the first place!
So, going to use the GPS to keep Johny Law from putting the blue lights in the rear view on the way over and back...and place a call to Autometer to sort this out.
