Klaus,
It has been a while but that happens in Buffalo when a winter problem has to wait for the thaw. So Here I am but now I have the car home and the problems are easier defined. I replaced the radiator so I can now start the car and test everything. On jack stands the wheels will turn when put into gear. But it looks like they turn forward direction no matter if in "R" or not. They will speed up in "D" and feel like it shifts. Drop the car and it only creeps forward regardless of selector. It will roll ( when pushed) in either direction and will hold in "Park". When placing the selector into "P" there is some sound and it seems like it is needing to find the pin like a rattle of a pin finding the spot on a wheel to slide into.. I just started it and checked a few things.
Starts fine and will only crank in "P" or "N".
regardless of selector, it wants to creep forward. Even after a few tries this is true even in "P" and will crank a little slow when this happens. What is missing is the moment when the gear is selected, that the idle will drop since it is in gear and you introduce a "load".
The backup lights work in "R"
I don't have a "code Reader" but might be able to get one from a friend.

Thoughts? Tests?

Thanks

Christopher
