I removed the radiator in order to inspect it due to the engine over heating. It looked ok so I replace the thermostat. When re-installing the radiator I had some trouble with trasmission cooling line. I must have not replace the clamp completely because when I drove it around the block the trasnmission began to slip and then stopped moving all together. I pulled over and notice a lot of smoke coming from under the engine. When I looked at the line it had slipped off and transmission fluid leaked all over the vehicle. I then towed the car back home. I drove the car less than half a mile. The next day I was was able to correctly connect the trasmission line to the radator, but now the transmission WONT ENGAGE AT ALL. I did notice that the transmission fluid is low. Can someone advise? Did I ruin the transmission?

well the low cost way to go first would be to try and change the trans fluids. If the problems still remains the it may be an internal problem

I would flush and change fluid and certainly the filter. Would not be bad idea to change out the torque converter

Flush tranny fluid and change the filter. Change the torque converter fluid and test your solenoids.

Hello and welcome to FixYa!
Looks like that you have a faulty torque converter. If the torque converter is worn out it tends to slip, won't shift, stall or will just run rough. I suggest a torque converter and transmission fluid replacement. Once replaced I believe you'll be good.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!
