Just finished installing the rebuilt 47re for my boss. rebuilt the trany with a napa kit, bought a trans go shift kit (TFOD-HD2) and a hughes towing tc. started it for the first time to check the oil and top it off, and found out it doesnt work. when you put it in any gear, r d 2 1, i feel it "clunk" into gear like usual, but it slips when i try to drive it. so bad that i had to put it into 4lo to get it to move at all. not really sure what i did wrong. any help would be greatly appreciated. i ran the trans thru all the gars slowly several (hundred) times to make sure there was no air in the lines but its still the same.
It kinda shutters when you put it into gear, too...

 

bands not adjusted right?

 

adjsuted them to the "atsg" book

 

did you check the clearance of the clutch packs. and the seals on the servos in the vb. also if the teeth were not lined up on the pump it can shear the pump gear.

 

I'm going to check the pressure test points today. I have a feeling that I might have done something to the vb when rebuilding it. The oil was dark when I pulled the pan yesterday. It's brand new oil not even 1 mile on it. Installed all new seals threwout the tranny
