Jarhed1964 is on a distinguished road
So, I told you before I should not have messed with the sealing sleeve (it wasn't leaking to begin with, but I like preventive maintenance).

I have the new pan on, I have fluid in the trans (1st cold fill), but when I went to start the car and run it in, it won't start because it shows a trans malfunction.

First thing I looked at was the plug going into the mechatronics sleeve. Of course.... it's loose. It did not fully seat. And other than trying to have my 14 year old twist the plug while pushing it foward to find the tab to line up with the male side of the mechatronics plud inside the trans, I don't know what else to do. I cannot fit my hand up there fully to be able to manipulate the plug into place.

He gets $75 if he can do it, but I'm betting I'm calling Brothers Auto in Indian Trail on Monday to have them seat the plug and finish filling my trans for me with the Lifegaurd 6 I have. Flatbed won't be too expensive I guess. At least I got THAT going for me and there is 3 litres of oil in the trans so I won't worry about them pulling it onto the bed.
