    replaced engine.. transmission not engaging

    I just replaced my engine and now my transmission won't engage. I start the engine and when I put it in drive or reverse it is just the same as neutral. Does anyone know what's wrong?

    There's a cable that attaches to the front. If it's not set right, it won't shift into gears properly. Make sure all the harnesses are plugged in as well. I had the same problem when I reinstalled my transmission after putting in a high stall TC.

    Are you talking about the shift cable? I didnt mess with any cables on the transaxle when I replaced the engine. I also labeled all of the harness connectors and plugged them all in.
