Post subject: | Engine swapped now only stays in first gear. |
The trans was working before the engine swap. Reinstalled and it goes into reverse and Drive but only stays in first gear. Was there a step I missed when reinstalling? **there’s a backstory to this. I took it to a shade tree mechanic for new head gaskets. He pulled the engine and upon reinstalling my guess is timing chain was off and it bent valves and dinged pistons. He pulled engine again and was apart, I was pissed and just hauled my Libby back with boxes of parts. I just bought a engine from a salvage yard reinstalled and here we are. I’m about to take it into a transmission shop. I’m hoping a reader will have a straight forward solution. (Wonder if the computer is still reading the timing is off from the old engine?) 04 Liberty 3.7 , 290k miles, original trans. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

UPDATE I took it to the shop and their diagnosis is that it needs a new Transmission Control Module. (Apparently the TCM is part of the PCM and not separate) I’ve swapped this engine before a there were zero issues with transmission and it ran fine. Any thoughts ?
