Recently purchased a nice (body/interior) Carat as a project.

Engine is seized and PO states the auto tranny won't go into reverse when
cold...in spite of a rebuild less than 20K miles ago.

Don't care about the engine since I plan a Suburu conversion for it,
but....regarding the tranny....are there any auto tranny Gurus out there?
I know nothing about autoboxes...but I'm fairly handy...having done four
previous Subaru conversions.

Wondering if this tranny can might be fixed with a simple adjustment, or
does it need another rebuild/replacement...

Since the van doesn't run, is there any way to check out/adjust an auto
tranny on the bench.  I don't want to have to put the Suby in then test
drive, etc....possibly yank it out again...etc.

Like to have everything good when I do the new engine install.
