When you flushed the oil...did you notice anything weird in the oil?

I know what you are talking about. I dont believe its the tranny its self. The parts car I bought had the same problem. No drive( only L1 & L2) or OD. that was one of the reasons they sold it.
Also, another tailtale sign of it being electrical is the OD light didnt come on.

I took out the engine & tranny at the same time out of the parts car & swapped them into mine. Figuring that if the tranny is bad( because it is controlled electrically) that maybe its electrical & not the tranny its self. Well I got everything swapped over & took it for a drive & low & behold the tranny was fine. Shifts like its brand new.
So now I have that one in the car & freshly rebuilt one sitting in my garage



What you want to do is to check the connections by the battery box. there should be 3 of them. Make sure they arenot loose.
If you are still having problems, if the connections are not loose. I'll dig out the schematics.
