Anybody had to prime an auto box through a priming port on the governor housing?

I cant get drive on a freshly built box... so just trouble shooting.

The fresh 1293cc on top of it is running like a dream sowing machine though

Usually it's because the pipe seal has been displaced when fitting the forward clutch back in.
I've done two of these and never had to prime the box.

Thanks doc. That’s my fear .... forward clutch out again .
Wonder if it can be done in car...

No room.
After doing it I would test run it on the floor, just long enough to test pressures at the plug on the filter housing in reverse and forward gears.
