^^yea real helpful post. Anyone can say its busted.

Sounds like you may have busted a band with the sudden jump into gear.

You can check if it is the intermediate band by trying to adjust it. You can only adjust one band it is on the drivers side. Loosen the large nut and turn the bolt in until it gets tight if it gets tight after three or four turns torque it down to 10 ft lbs Then it back out two full turns and hold it with a wrench and then tighten the nut. I just pulled my c3 yesterday not a real fun job. Not alot of info available it will be my first automatic rebuild i`m hopeing to find a cheap parts tranny. The rear ring gear thrust washers fried causing it to lose oil pressure. You still having reverse is a good sign. hopefully you can just adjust it. If not I`m in the market for a parts tranny
