You can't check the B2 piston with out taking it out of the car.

Hello Guys,


I have a 87 560-SEC, while driving I came to a stop light, car is the drive position. When I hit the gas to accelerate , the engine reved but the car did not move. I put the car in reverse and the reverse gear worked fine. Long story short,  Good Buddy Jonathan suggested that the B2 Piston was probably gone, I hoped.  I had a very reliable mechanic look at the car and he stated the B2 piston was fine and that that he could not find anything wrong other than I was a little low on transmission fluid, and that the insulation around or above transmission housing was worn and lose.  He suggested I get the rear seal done, but the B2 piston was not leaking and he did not detect any issues with the transmission. Your feed back would be greatly appreciated.
