NO Drive, NO Reverse, ROUGH 1st Gear

KansasRam1997 said:

Hi, I've recently rebuilt the engine in my truck and it runs good, however transmissions aren't my forte. The truck will not engage in anything, but 1st gear and even that it's very SLOW and there's barely any power at all. Did I do something wrong with the gearshift linkage? Before I rebuilt the engine, the transmission would slip here and there, but it always let me go in drive and reverse. I'm still a rookie, but any advice will help thank you!

Is it bogging down or just slipping? You say it's getting no power to the wheels well is it like its in neutral or starting off in 3rd gear?

Yeah more of bogging down, no slippage. It extremely slow for some reason probably top speed of like 5-10 mph

Check your plug wires first and make sure they're all going where they need to go. If not that I'm just going to assume the old motor had a bad plenum, see if it will rev over 3000rpm in neutral to verify the cat is still good. After that I would consider looking at the governor solenoids in the tranny.
No fault codes are being thrown this whole time?
