Well... heres the story.
Some of you might have read my earlier post of how i rebuilt a 3.1 in a 1995 grand prix, and about a month later my girlfriend totaled the car...SWEET!! I found a donor car, a 1994 Buick Century 88,000 mi 3.1L BLOWN $250. Not bad. Well last weekend I did the transplant and the engine runs fine after a upper intake swap and some motor mount swaps and connectors. Now the problem I am having is with the transmission. I dont know whether or not that my problem is a sensor difference, which i dont think that it should be. The problem is I have no 1st or 4th/OD. My selector looks like this PNRD321. When the car is put into drive/OD the car will start in 3rd and not shift up or down. (Oh yeah forgot to mention that the car was sitting for 2 years prior to swap). Now when you put the selector into 3 it will start in 3rd and not shift up or down. Next, 2 position, I get 2nd gear only and nothing else. Position 1 , you get second gear and no other gears. Reverse works fine and the engine runs strong and I am very happy with the car but the tranny is going to drive me nuts. The tranny in the grand prix was good but had about 180,000 thousand miles on it. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

I am a little steamy. That was alot of work with no results. Does anybody have any ideas on what else I could do, or what steps to take. BTW I also tested the ohms on all the other solenoids in the tranny, all within spec. I need advice please???
