Camaro Z28 won't move
I have an '84 Z28 that won't move when when I put it in drive or reverse when the wheels are on the ground. When I have the rear axle on jack stands the wheels do turn when I put it in gear. The transmission is a TH350 and the engine is a 350 sbc. The torque converter and flex plate are attached and I have fluid in the transmission. I took the back off the differential and everything is intact and looks like it is in correctly. I'm able to roll the car in neutral. Any ideas?

Re: Camaro Z28 won't move
very low on tranny fluid will cause that-try pouring some more fluid in and see if it starts to work.If dipstick shows correct level with engine running,could have wrong dipstick.

Re: Camaro Z28 won't move
I'm thinking the transmission is bad. Added a bunch more fluid and now it will go into reverse, but I don't want to back through the wall of my shop so I haven't tested it. It creeps forward in drive but only if I have the rpms way up.
