Re: Which is the drive wheel?

Well, I jacked up all the tires and put bricks in the dirt divots to fill them up. Hit the stuck wheel a couple of times with a 10 lb sledge (only the tire, not the rim) hoping to free it. Pumped up the tires and fired her up. Put it in H and the idle dropped. Revved the motor and nothing. Put it in reverse and she moved easily. Backed out of the divots. Put it in H again and it still wouldn't move. I know the wheel moved in H when it was off the ground. Added 2 more quarts but no change. I think it is overfilled now because I see the spot under the car getting bigger.

Now for plan B. Forgot to get the come along, but will get it on Monday. Hoping to pull the car forward with it and either work on the trans while it is parallel over the driveway or pull it forward and then use reverse to back it up and around if I have enough room.

Still don't know if this is "normal" considering L does not work. I read in a different thread that L and R use bands. I know I had a problem with the plates coming off the bands in the past and I am assuming (hoping) that is what is wrong with L. I would be happy getting L back in service. Does H utilize L in anyway, or is H an independant system and won't be fixed by fixing L? Hope that makes sense!
