MK1 stops moving in drive. Restart and in moves some.
Just took my my 1986 MK1 automatic out of storage. It stopped moving in drive, but moves in reverse. When it stops, if I shut it off and restart immediately it will move several lenghts of itself before stopping again. Any opinions? Does the transmission require rebuild or could it be just the filter? Fluid level is good.

To me it sounds as if the forward clutch is fubared.

A rebuild is probably going to fix ya.
Over here years ago, I bought a master rebuild kit IIRC it was about 200 USD and a new Torque Convertor, which was 89 USD + 100 dollar core.
The second time I bought a tranny with 89K on the clock, and put it in on Dec 23rd… It was 400 shifted like a dream, and was quicker and easier than rebuilding it.

Over filling the atf is just as bad as under. I would try the select other and D and see if it goes.
It could be as simple as the shift cable isn't fully detenting in each gear, so it don't know what to do.
