Put new clutches and bands in and also a shift kit in the valve body. Car sitting with E-brake on, goes into all forward gears, park and neutral. It goes into reverse but make a god-awful racket that does not quit. I have about 10 qts of fluid in it. Is this a valve body problem? I don't have much experience with ATs but did use the Ford shop manual to do the overhaul and all seemed right when I buttoned it up. BTW it is a '79 C4 that was connected to a 351. Thanks for any help.

Yikes.

I doubt the VB is the cuplrit.


Yank it out and rip it apart before there is too much damage.

One of the clutch plates may be out of whack.
