240D overheating

My 1977 240D with 260,000 miles, which ran wonderfully up to the point where I decided that I need get the green stuff out, now has overheating issues. I replaced old coolant with the Zerex GO-5 per numerous reference on this forum and other sources. While changing over I also back flush the cooling to confirm that all of the old coolant was completely removed. After purged the system of air through the bleed screw in the top of the thermostat housing and running the heater, I thought I was back on the road as good as ever.

6.9 transmission pump

the transmission in my 6.9 has become all neutral. no engagement in any gear. this happened just after i started the car in the morning. i backed up about 3 feet, and that was it. prior to this, it worked perfectly, with no noises or malfunction of any kind. when i checked the fluid level it was very high. can anybody tell me anything? it was suggested that i check the auxiliary trans pump located below the ac compressor? help!
