When i put the car in any gear it does not move at all. I can see the fly wheel and torque converter spinning. It wont even move when i give it a good rev. Does this indicate that the torque converter i have put in is shagged? I have used this torque converter in the same car with another TH400 and it did the same thing. Any ideas of what this could be or am i right in saying the converter is stuffed? Cheers

I had no dramas putting it in and bolting the box up to the engine so i assume it is installed correctly. When it was in the old box i had new fluid in it and when i drained it it looked fresh still (not like it had shavings all through it).
