Well, to bring every one up to date, earlier this summer I swapped in an 83 5.0 and my rebuilt C4 from a 67 merc comet.
I had the car running earlier, and it seems to make plenty of power. It will shift into reverse, but when I try to put it in forward, nothing happens.
So, out comes the trans, back to the experienced builder, with the above story. He goes thru it and says the only think he see's wrong is forward apply clutch "O" ring is old and worn. Nothing else inside is wrong.
New "O" ring, back in car, car running tonight. Run the car to normal operating temperature, no weird noises, other than it has sat for so long with out running.
Same story, goes into reverse, but no forward. Now,
Before I go buy a new valve body for it, do you think a totally wrong band adjustment could cause all of this headache??
