Question Any advice?

I was careful about that, but I missed something else I guess. Here's what I've got. I was going to post more pics as I was putting it back together, but my cam crapped out on me. Anyway, I got everything back together and everything but first gear works great. Reverse is good, second is good and drive is good. If I'm pulling away from a dead stop I have to put it in second for it to move, then back to drive and it good from there. I've pulled the VB and went through it again, resistance checked all the electrical parts inside the VB and everything checks out okay. Any ideas? I'm not above pulling it back out and apart and double checking everything, but some direction would be great. Oh, and a book on the 4R75/4R70 would be great if anyone knows where I can find one. Again, any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks again,
J

think you may have torn the forward clutch seal loosing pressure in first gear but when chaning to manual 2nd appling other componets to help move it i will try and get some pics as soon as possible but this is what i think happened the forward clutch is the only clutch pack applied in 1st gear

Thanks. Next question. Am I going to damage anything else by driving it on a VERY limited basis? Thanks again.
