Ok,

Today I replaced the broken selector valve, re-installed the valve body, and filled the trans back up with Dextron II. I filled the trans cold with fluid until it started running out the fill hole, then started engine and ran it through the gears. Everything seemed to function correctly now. All gears work and I have Park and Reverse now.

I let the car warm up and then shut it off. Pulled the fill cap, and filled it up again until it started to trickle out, then replaced the cap and dropped the car.

The g-friend and I took the car for a ride down the street and everything was fine until we got a block away from the house. Then the unexpected happened, trans strarted slipping and error came up on dash "Trans Program" see owners manual.

What does this mean? I am wondering if the fluid level is not full...

Damn, I thought I had this figured out and fixed! Not so it seems.....

Car is back up on jack stands for round 2 now. I pulled the fill plug and a small amount of fluid came out. Have not tried to refill to see if it is low yet.

Do you have any more advise for me or what I should do next?

Thanks again on this your help is much appreciated.
