I went to move off after the car was not used for a couple of weeks, & couldn't select a gear. After finding the trans fluid on the floor, I put in about 1&1/2 pints, and all was good. I keep reading about the elusive drainback valve, and how if it is faulty the torque converter will lose it's fluid when parked up for a couple of weeks. Where exactly is this mythical beast, and can it be replaced without dropping the trans?
