hey guys/gals. working on a 03 LB7 which was a rebuilt unit. installed into truck and have no forward or reverse.

things i've checked - NO check engine lights
shifter movement - good
line pressure - 260psi in PRND has a boost valve
transfer case - good
valves in valve body all move freely
removed trans - torque converter looks good
monitored input shaft speed - reads engine in PRND
monitored output shaft speed - doesn't change
installed new PRNDL switch as precaution
Fluid Level - GOOD
Trans filter has suncoast filter lock installed


i'm pretty much at a loss now. based on reading i've done. direction i'm lead is C5 clutch pack, maybe solenoid?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try unplugging the main trans connector on the back of the transmission and see if it will hydraulically defaul to third and reverse.
