We Have put a used Transmission in our Mitsubishi Montaro Sport. It is a all wheel drive 3.5L motor. 2003. What would make the transmission make a buzzing sound when you put it in any gear other than N.

A dirty filter or low fluid are likely causes.

Well along with making the buzzing sound it will not move. When you put the Transmission in N you can't turn the front Drive shaft is that normal? Fluid is full as well.

If the fluid is full and you are sure about that, it's time to head to the trans shop. If I were to guess, I would suspect that you broke the front pump during installation because you may not have had the converter fully seated when you tightened the housing bolts.

We losened up the tranny and now the front drive will turn in N but not in Park. Is it that we are not getting it lined up just right or what?

I'm betting it's too late now. the front pump is likely broken.

Did you flush the transmission cooler out before you installed your transmission?

Be sure to get a couple cans of Kooler Kleen for the cooler lines. Most auto parts stores carry it but you sometimes have to ask for it. I know mine had it behind the counter. Transmissions hate sludge so you want to clean everything out real good.

I had a pump break on a transmission in my wife's minivan and one of the pump fins worked its way down into the valve body. If you do the pump yourself make sure you check everything out. You don't want some small piece of metal roaching your whole transmission.
