You should always check the fluid....cause you never know with this trans. There is no dipstick so you gotta follow the manual. Does it shift normally when you put it in Drive? The linkage needs to be just right or it wont got all the way down. Look up the video for installing a TCI ratchet shifter. It shows how to adjust that linkage. Its simple.

What about when you have it in Drive. Does it run through the gears normally?
