2G W4A33 No Gears

[Bo0sTeD 4G63]

I am converting my car from FWD to AWD but the problem I am having is when I put the car in reverse for some reason the tires spin forward. I am using the kiggly mod also, I have checked to make sure the solenoids are good, and I also checked to make sure my transmission pump works. I have no reverse the only thing the transmission does is when the car is in reverse it looks like its on 2nd and when I put it in neutral it looks like it goes into low gear. Also when I hit the gas the wheels do not spin any faster they stay rotating at the same speed even though the rpms are going up. I don't know if maybe the transmission is in limp mode or maybe something else is wrong that can be an easy fix. I just wanted to know if there is anything else I can try before I take out the transmission.

Did you make sure the shifter was pushed all the way forward as well as the gear selector on the neutral safety switch on the trans was pushed all the way forward when you connected the shift cable?

Yes I made sure, I also removed the shift cable and tested by hand and nothing happened. Do you think it could be something with the transmission internally?

Did you put it in neutral and line up the two holes on the transmission where the cable attaches to on the transmission?

This might help

I spoke to a transmission shop and I was told that most likely the clutches inside the transmission are stuck so I might need a rebuild. I guess that's what I get for buying a used part when I was told it came out of a good working car and there was nothing wrong with it. Sad part is it's from one of our vendors. You live and you learn, this will not happen to me again.

Did installing the transmission go smooth?
Do you have a logger or anything to check transmission codes?

Wonder if the valve bodys screwed its an easy start and if you have your old f4a-33 transmission swap the valve body into the w4a-33

You can check codes with an analog volt meter just vfaq: auto transmission trouble codes ,
Or get a factory service manual

Did you Double check the alignment of your shifter?
Are you useing the tcu?
Ive had a band break in my auto and my car was stuck in 3rd gear(limp mode) but i coud still limp around town

Fluid level good ?
Is the Transmissions seated to the block properly?

The shop propably just wants your money so do some easy stuff on it before you fork out cash
Im sure what ever vendor sold it to you can assist you

I put in a brand new torque converter and installed a TransLab shift kit so I'm guessing it's the transmission that's messed up. I was told it was a good transmission now I have to come up with the money to rebuild it.

 

[o0GuitarKid0o]

Hmm any way you can use the tcu?
Did you make sure the torque converter was in the pump properly?
Takes alot of turning

Do you free rev no matter what gear your in ?

Check your over drive clutches its easy to get to, might give you an idea of what the other clutches look like .

Did you make sure to use the right bolts in the right spots? You can crack. Valve bodys easly

When I put it in reverse the wheels spin forward and when I hit the gas it just revs up but the wheels don't spin any faster.

What happens in drive? An so forth

Nothing happens in any other gear, in reverse it feels like it's in 2nd, in neutral it feels like it's in 1st, and in any other gear nothing happens it just revs up.

So if you put it in R it will go forward like in first gear?

If I put it in R it feels like 2nd gear and if I put it in N it feels like 1st gear.

Sounds more like a hydrolic issue
Can you swap valve bodys?

If your 100% pisitive your shifter is adjusted properly than i would asume its your valve body unless alot of stuff is destroyed inside

I was told most likely the transmission needs a rebuild so I will be sending it out to get a rebuild and keep you guys updated.

 

[Bo0sTeD 4G63]

Well guys just to keep you updated on my findings I found this while starting to rebuild the transmission. I am assuming this is why none of my gears are working as they should be. The forward drum is completely cracked all the way around.
