Default Stumped - Trans/Car goes forward in P, N, and R

Trans (Original C4) is back together and in the car. It was working fine when pulled.
I installed a new torque converter, pump seal, and B&M Shift Kit.

Trans doesn't leak! First time in a long time.

But I've got a problem somewhere. Pressing the throttle in any gear moves the car forward. I can't definitely find Neutral at all. I adjusted the intermediate band (nut near the shift linkage) per the B&M Instructions. I did not touch the low/reverse adjuster.

Could I have something in the VB too tight? The notched bar on the VB fit perfectly back with the shifter arm, and seemed to have free movement.

Any bright ideas? I'm stumped and don't want to admit defeat by having it towed to a trans shop. I'm so close!

i would look at the modifications you made to the valve body, with the B&M shift kit.

first thing i would do is drain and pop the pan, then get your finger where the shift arm goes into the little slot in the piston for the valve body and just make sure that the arm is correctly seated in the valve body. I screwed this up the first time i mounted my valve body into my C6 i just missed the little slot have somebody in the car move the floor shifter around and verify that the valve body piston is moving back and forth. If it is seated correctly then i think you need to pull down the valve body and have a look at the B&M kit you installed. Its very easy to mix up springs or accidentally loose one of those little ball bearing check valves. I almost lost 2 of those little things when i took my C6 valve body apart .

Check the linkage, is it actually moving when shifted?

Good point, I have no idea! Will definitely check that first.

I know the nut is tight on the rod.
