When you redid the tranny, did you put in a new torque convertor? Or drain the old one? I had the same problem with an FMX. I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't shift to 3rd. It needed fluid. Yeah I know DUH! lol While ideling the dipstick read right between add and full. OK right? Rev the engine and the fluid goes into the convertor, leaving nothing in the pan to shift. Stop revving and it goes back to the pan. It took almost 2 full quarts of fluid. Thirsty little devil it was. Now the convertor is full and alls well that ends well. I hope your fix is as easy as mine was!
