trans problems

mb doc is absolutely correct.assuming that you had 4th gear before you started this rebuild,most probably if you replaced the two white teflon seals on the short stubby shaft in the rear of the case[the rear band fits in the same location with the rear clutch drum in the middle on the short shaft.unless you are very careful and use generous amounts of grease on the two white teflon seals,you will pinch one of them resulting in fluid loss to the case and no 4th gear[4th requires both the front and rear clutch drums to be pressurised with fluid] ps did you take apart the two clutch drums and replace both lip seals and then air check to make sure no leaks?
