When I put the car in low (1st) gear it locks up like its in park. I've checked the cable adjustment several times and even recruited some help starting in nuteral and making sure the cable fitting (I bolt) went into the slot in every gear. I pulled the tranny and noticed some metal shavings in the fluid so now I'm trying to figure out this problem. last week was a leak which it looks as if the servo cover was the culprit. thanks

Yes it has a trans brake but it has never been
hooked up

The transbrake can come on even if it isn't wired up?

Well started tearing into the tranyy and find the servo does not have the rear oring seal on it and the servo piston ic cracked in like 5-6 places. does that sound like a possibility for the car to not move in drive. earlier I posted it as 1st gear but it is a rmvb so it was actually in drive.

front servo

I'm not to hip on transmissions but I sure hope what ever was going on was caused by the servo. I'd imagine a broken servo missing the seal would cause some havic on the transmission shifting gears or even working in gear

the sides where ground on and the servo is broke, it is cracked in like 5 spots and all the way around the inside spot face of the part

I've got a guy picking it up today and he's just going to go throught everything. I bought it fresh but from a guy on a local sight and it was built by an unknown builder so I will fell better having it completely gone through by some who will stand by their work. plus the guy I bought it from is stepping up and having it fixed. thanks for your help.
