[TheForge] Need more 65 falcon transmission help

Sat Oct 5 20:29:01 2002

You can move an automatic when its in gear because theres only a fluid
coupling to the motor ie: torque converter, could be a few things starter
might not be engaging the ring gear properly, broken ring gear teeth, dud
starter.
