Shift cable was hooked up and fine, kickdown hooked up and adjusted, fluid level was good as well. I don't know if it was a good transmission but before the cable melting problem when I took it for that first small test drive it didn't do this. I'm not sure what this would be but I'm either going to have to rebuild it maybe get a TCI tranny maybe. When my next day off hits I'm going to look at it more. After dropping the pan and replacing with deep pan and all I put in about i wt to day 7-8 quarts because the deep pan and took forever to register. The engine it was attached to that i got from the guy had a blown head gasket and piston to head issues. That's the only history I have on it and when I opened it up it seemed clean other then the vb(has a shift kit b and m) has a lot of black stuff throughout it
