Dropped the tranny pan and replaced the filter and gaskets on my stock C4 this weekend. Now the transmission won't engage in any gear.
Tranny was installed new in 2005 and has about 10k miles on it now. No issues with shifting etc prior to filter change. New filter looks identical to old one. And although caught by surprise by the throttle pressure limit valve and spring during removal, I did install it back in proper location. Old fluid was full red color and no debris in pan to indicate any damage. Also, both the original set up and replacement do not have a pick up tube attached to the filter. Following the filter change, tranny took about 2.5 qts of new fluid, which is about how much I caught in the drip pan while draining the old fluid.
So far I have let the vehicle run for a few 5 minute periods with both the gear selector in Park and also in Neutral (yes gear selector and linkage is working fine). Also cycled through all the gears, but nothing happening.
What do I try next?
