Trans feels like it has brakes.

I finally got mine running right after much toil. I got it running saturday and it started missing. I had to drive 60 miles to get a set of plug wires. Put them on and miss is gone. Took it for a drive and the trans starting acting funny. I manually shifted down to 1st and the rear wheels locked up. I had to put the throttle down about 3/4's to get it to limp home about a mile down the road. Reverse works fine though. The fluid smeels burnt. I had a local rebuild it and when I had it together about a month ago I had no second gear. He rebuilt it again. While I fixed my blown headgaskets and bearing damage.( Pics in link below) Now there is a another problem. I'm starting to think this guy is retarted. What do you think it is?

Tranny problems

I also have the same symptoms, In first or second feels like the brakes are on. In D or OD starts off in third and upshifts to OD. Reverse works. Problem seems to be in 1st and 2nd mostly. I will pull the pan one of these days and figure it out, but it would be nice to know what to look for. TIA

MIne had the same thing. My PR was stuck.

Cool, A PR is a pressure regulator I guess, does it need to be replaced, cleaned, rebuilt, recalibrated? Thanks

Well my fluid is almost brown now. I have only 3rd gear left. The guy who rebuilt it says that it might be in two gears at once and burned up a clutch pack. Who knows, not my problem to deal with.
