X2, converter slips forwards a bit, not noticed, breaks lugs on pump when bolting transisssion case to engine. Takle a trans cooler line loose & fire it off, should get lots of ATF flow. Missing or broken trans filter?
Also even with out any electrical connection this transmission will have reverse & 3rd gears.
