27 views and no help? Lol. Update.... Disconnects battery to reset all computers. Checked fluid level and fluid is low. Picking up fluid tomorrow to fill it up. Hopefully that's it. Any other suggestion will be appreciated! Thanks!

^You done FuUCCKed up. It could be all your fault or just luck.

put the old one in see if you get reverse if you do then send the new one back.
China part?

Also on the reverse drum there are plastic oil rings that if they let oil through you will lose revers.
check those that they are not crushed or cracked.

Used an oem solenoid pack.. Don't see how I could have messed up those rings by removing the valve body... Correct me if I'm wrong.

It's probably bad luck.
If you replaced the solenoid and put everything together
right it has to be that.

Just a guess I'm not an expert.

Although its not a solution to the problem, I had a similar issue when replacing my stock valvebody with a modded Maxxtuning Stage 2 valve body. I put my stock solenoids into the maxxtuning VB only to find that I didn't have DRIVE. Never found a solution because in was too frustrated at the time. Did you get any codes? When my car didn't have drive, I had codes PO745 and PO740. You might have to reseat the solenoids again.
