[TheForge] Need more 65 falcon transmission help

[Barking Crow]

Hi,

6 mos. Or a year ago ya'll gave me some good advice on the automatic
transmission in my son's 65 falcon and just the addition of fluid seemed to
solve the problem.  Recently it got much worse and fluid didn't help and so
he took it to a transmission place that came highly recommended and spent
$650 getting it all redone.  10 days after picking it up and it working very
nicely and of course after dark on Fri. night he drove in saying it sounded
like he was dragging something.  He wasn't and when he now tries to start
the little beauty the starter whirrs but nothing else happens.  My only
suggestion was to beat on the solenoid while trying to start it and that
didn't help and then we noticed that in drive or reverse it will easily
roll.  This seems wrong to me and of course Monday we'll be getting back
with the transmission guys, but I work 12 hours Mon and Tues.  So, anyone
have any suggestions as to what may have happened?

Thanks for any input you may have and hope to see some of ya'll at the FABA
conference in Barberville next weekend.  I'll be the guy not driving the 65
Falcon.
