Install the starter. Connect the cables to the starter. Connect the lock-up control solenoid valve and shift control solenoid valve connectors. Connect the speed sensor connectors and the transaxle ground cable. Connect the transaxle cooler hoses to the joint pipes. [*]

Did you bolt the converter to the flex plate? It almost sounds like you did everything but that. I'm not busting you or anything but, thats something i would look into. In case you have'nt. Hope this helps.

 

yes

 

i got the car running today, i pour way too much ATF could this cause harsh shifting? also im using dexron 3, i cannot move the shifter out of park unless i stick the key in that slot and move it. also if i try to put the car in park with it running i can hear the tranny making noises like if something is caught of hooking inside the tranny, maybe this is the reason y the flex plate broke, all other gears are fine.
