    Default C6 Trans issue?

    So life has gotten in the way the past 6-8 months and my ‘78 bronco has been parked in the yard on an incline. Got in it yesterday and it fired up on the 2nd try. Well that was the end of my good luck.... Put the damn thing in drive and it won’t budge, put it in reverse and it will back up fine. Haven’t had a chance to check trans fluid yet, but my guess is it is low or all the fluid is sitting in the back of the transmission since it has been parked on the hill. Any other ideas?

    Was a 351, got a 460 in it now. So fluid is good, still won’t budge. Guess it’s time to rebuild or find a used trans

    If you don't like Ford Broncos AND Chevrolet Corvettes, you ain't American.
