Start from beginning;;;last fall i did a start-up at a car show..had car on stands;;don't remember if was in "n" or "p" not sure but i started car..rap thottle a coupe times,,trans went into gear;;not sure if was in n or p but while running it fell into gear turning the rear tires and as it slowed down could hear noise in trans;;yesterday at my first time with car ran though all gears on warm up;; pits got to staging to do a pass;;had in high gear to to do burnout but car would:not move until real high rpm and barley move..drop into low gear and it moved great then;;did burnout ok in low;;pressed trans break and backed car up;;staged;put into low;;launch car and barely moving car again;;took off and shifted to high gear;;car still barelly rolling i taped on trans brake about half track then all sudden it took off;;what think would be wrong?be another month before can test car again and track 120 miles away;;

That does not sound good, check simple things firs, fluid level, shift lever adjustment, drop pan look foe metal?

PSweeney:
check you have the right hole on the shift lever arm down at the trans for the shifter you are running, sounds like you are between gears and your movement at the shifter isn't making a complete and equal movement at the trans lever arm.

Good thought ^ X2

Thanks guys for the replys;;going check cable adjustment today and drop pan..if i find shifter adjustment if off and i pull pan and don't find anything bad in pan then think i'd be good with just filling with fresh fluid and correck the cable adjustment OR think i hurt the clutches and need to tear down trans completly???
