C6 troubles..

I have a problem with my C6, and it goes like this. I can shift thru the complete gear range, forward and back with no trouble..IF THE ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING..but with the engine running when I down shift to low and come back up to drive it will not go back to neutral, I disconnected the shifter and it did not change anything, so I know its not a linkage problem. As soon as I turn the engine off, everything is just fine. I've changed valve bodies and its the same, SO does anyone have any suggestions? It's really a pain to have to stop and shut down just to get back to reverse and driving without neutral is scary to say the least

Thanks

You shift into N when the engine is running and what happens? It wont physically shift into the N position,or it does but it remains in D?

It will not shift in to neutral, until you shut the engine off. Its really weird...I think I have come up with a possible answer, only thing I can think of that would have such a strong hold on it is the lever for the parking pawl is somehow getting stuck and stopping the shift linkage from moving forward,.. I just can not imagine the trans having that much fluid pressure that the shift lever can't be moved even with a cheater bar..Plan to drop the pan soon and will see what I see.

Dropped the pan, did not find anything that was causing the problem, went to a couple of "trans experts" and they are stumped, but for a price they will "LOOK" inside it. Well hell for their price I'll just buy another trans....
