I checked the linkage and seems fine to mile. Clips are still on and its moving more free than usual, or at least it feels that way. I'll move the shifter to any position and it just doesn't drop into gear. ~ I have noticed it does NOT move anywhere under its own power. Just behaves like its in neutral, unless parked. ~ I checked the fluid level and the fluid itself wasn't ruby red.. but dark.. very dark, odd since I did replace the filter and fluid maybe a few hundred miles ago. I did not drain the torque convert at the time though (tried to, but bit broke).
