How much ATF did you remove and how much did you put back in ?

I'm no expert but I'd suggest that you do a proper check of the ATF level - I'm not absolutely sure of the procedure but it's along the lines of:
Start up engine
Run through each gear in turn while stationary
Check level on ATF dipstick (With engine still running)
Use hot or cold mark dependent on whether the ATF is hot or not
Good luck

Why did you try and remove the kick-down cable?????Comment

mine is fooked..... completely frayed, so i have a new one, went to change it, removed it from throttle end(same place the accelorator cable connects) then got under to disconnect the other end, then couldnt see how to disconnect gearbox end.....Originally posted by BUSHWHACKER View PostComment

You'll need to remove the transmission sump to get at the end of the cable, which means draining the fluid again!Originally posted by BigBobE View Post
If you do then you'll need some RTV sealant to replace the gasket before re-fitting..Comment

yeah, hence i re-connected it at throttle end...... so for the moment i just want my reverse back, cable kinda worked frayed so i'll leave that be, but i just need my truck running again....Originally posted by BUSHWHACKER View Post

Right then, you need to start the truck, foot on brake pedal, shift lever though all the gears pausing a couple of seconds in each one, back into 'P', leave engine running and check the fluid level on the dipstick. Remove it, give it a wipe and re-insert it. Pull it out and see where the level is. It needs to be about halfway in the cold section (on a cold engine) top up as necessary and re-check level again after repeating the above procedure.
Does the reverse beeper still work?Comment
