I knew everything was going to well on the Caddy swap, the transmission has issues. It appears to be in forward gear, no matter where I put the lever on the transmission and when I put it in reverse, it just fights itself. I'll drop the pan and valve body tomorrow.

Sounds like you got some clutch plates welded together.

John need any pictures or troubleshooting stuff? I have a technician's supplement for the 400. I can fax.

You have a forward clutch that's not releasing.

Screw it, ordered a rebuilt TH 400 from Autozone for $450 to my local store.

I was going to tell you that you might have farked up, but then I googled and you're right. Caddy did have their own unique bellhousing pattern, but only for '67 and earlier.

Soooo... a quick google search for "Oldsmobile 4-speed" finds...?
