Tranny troubles over!!!!
Hey Guys,
Just wanted to let you guys know and then I'm going over to the tranny forum and let them know I found out what the problem was and I have ffixed it!!!!! I got to looking around and noticed that the drivers side of the motor was slightly higher than the other. I crawled under the truck and sure enough, the motor mount on that side of the truck was resting on the lip of the oil pan!!!! Somewhere down the line the bolts came out and I had no Idea. I managed to find one in box of bolts that I don't throw away and found one that fit. I got it in and readjusted and as soon as I let it down, and it went right into gear. The only problem I have now is that since the shifter broke off and I re welded it, I had to place it a little lower and it hits my seat going into first, but that is a mangable issue. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that offered advice and responed to me.
Relieved and able to work now,
Michael

Me Too!!
For some reason the bolts where the mounts bolt on to the block are gone. Virated out I guess. I just have to find out what size they are and buy a few. I already have one new mount. I was just gonna bolt it on but I couldn't because the bolts were MIA. Thanks for everything guys.

Cool! :)
Nothing like climbing in/under there and checking it out, huh? :)
One thing that really disturbs me about your post and it's very upsetting
just to copy it and post it here again, but really hoping it's just a typo... :(
"...managed to find one in box of bolts that I don't throw away..."
Lie to me if you have to but please tell me you don't throw bolts away, Ok?
