Location: Milwaukee Wisconsin		did a pressure test on front pump driver side access plug hole..... it has 110 psi at idle 800 rpm . 1200 rpm is at 115-120 psi . looks high for some reason manual say 89-91 psi .
nothing wrong with reverse position . it goes into reverses and you can torque it with a ioad and works fine . it's just the forward gear has nothing. it will pull at idle and moves the car under own power.

Hi Shep  !   YES  Got Reverse . everything with reverse works fine . pulls with a load on it  and snaps right in gear when pushing the reverse button .

Location: Milwaukee Wisconsin		also found out when doing that oil change . It would not take 10 quarts .. only took 8 quarts and was tooooo much too. oil was dripping all over the place last night . then I dropped pan this morning and looked at what was on the bottom the pan and it was full of silver muck . screen filter looked fine ... clean . no pieces of fine metal anywhere in the pan . filled it clean oil again 6 quarts and did not drip a drop of oil anywhere . I think 6 quarts is the ideal spot with just a simple oil change not anymore than 7

Don't forget that the torque converter has a capacity as well as the transmission. IF the torque converter is full then the amount needed to "fill" the transmission will be lower.

At least that is my thinking.

Location: Chestertown, NY ( near Lake George)		In my case, same reverse only issue. The forward clutch drum snap ring groove area broke away and the was no forward engagement, this was a weak area in that trans.
