OK I got it all together, but it still wont shift out of low and it slips.  It was perfectly fine before. I only drove it around the block, less than a mile to test it, you think I burnt it up? I adjusted the TV cable 3 times and the oil is full. What should I check next? This car is turning out to be evil.

You say it slips, is it really slipping or just won't upshift? Is reverse ok? If it is slipping when in drive and it's full of fluid, I would say the forward clutch is gone.

Reverse is fine, but when I take it around the block it wont upshift and then it starts slipping a bit. Once it starts i let off it quick.

Thats what mine did when I got the car.  I fixed it by placing it on the curb and installing a T5. :yuck:
My car is a gravity hybrid.  The gasoline engine gets me up the hills, and gravity gets me down.

My car did the same thing when I swapped in a 87 v-6 AOD. I didn't want to mess with it an bought another car for less then a transmission.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
