I just reinstalled my tranny after rebuilding it. I have iusse the truck wont move in any gear so i pulled the pressure test port by the filter and started it nothing came out. From my understanding i may have installed the bell housing gaskets wrong can anyone confirm that before i go pulling it out again thanks

I doubt you put on the gaskets wrong. They are way different.

You would be surprised how many people do that. It usually happens when the radio is blasting, beer flowing and a bunch of chickens that can't STFU while the so called build is taking place. :roflmao:

Mike didn't you say something like if it dont take 5 gallons after a rebuild and dose not have pressure to the test most its most likely the pump to cover gasket or am i way off here PS i don't drink but that don't mean i couldn't have did something dumb

I was not picking on you, just posting observations.
If you have no pressure; you either have the gaskets reversed, stator housing left loose ( back half of the pump), something installed incorrect in the stator housing ( converter flow valve or lube regulator valve or pressure regulator valve), or sump filter cracked.
If it had pressure when you started this build; then the problem is something you did.
