c-6 rebuild gone wrong!

ok i rebuilt the transmisson step by step following the haynes manual i bought , but it has some issues.The tranny only has forward in every posistion including reverse and it seems like it only has one gear because it never shifts. I have not taken it out of the driveway to avoid damage. Any help would be great

Sounds like valve body issues...when i rebuilt mine for my 360 there were different kits for the different years. Mine wouldnt shift auto but it would shift if i selected the gear(had floor shifter installed and manual shift/auto valvebody) I guess the easiest thing to do is drop the oil in a clean bucket...i get em from homedepot for $3, then take out the valve body and inspect everything...dirt, grim, the ballbearings used for the shifting and the springs. Make sure the ***** arnt upside with the spring ontop or vis-versa. I had a few issues myself...but for me it turned out to be the valve body.

Goodluck and dont get frustrated...bust out a few cold ones and chillax.

Did you get the manual valve hooked into the shift linkage?

Technical Video has an excellent video for rebuiling the C6, just be sure you put the remote in a ziploc bag.
