Well, opened the hood to check some things.First easy to fix thing was the fact that the alternator belt was missing. Must have happened off the line when the trans let go. That's fixed, so l lit it off and tested it going through the gears. No Low, no High, no reverse. So, it would seem that the input shaft or the clutch drum is probably out. Fluid looked good on the stick, I need to drain it and drop the pan for a better look. If the converter failed, it would still have a sensation in gear, even though it might be very sluggish. I'll slip the trans out and check a few obvious things like that. It's a Powerglide. How hard can that be to fix? I didn't notice any bad noises when steering the car back to my pit space from the starting line,You don't really get any feeling of anything trying to engage as you shift from Lo,Drive, or reverse. Even a broken converter will transmit some sensation of gears engaging. I'll get to the bottom of it yet. Watch me!
