okay I finally got around to swapping the drivetrains in my jeeps.
an 88 commanche got the engine/tranny/Tcase from an 89 cherokee. Everything worked fine in the cherokee before I swapped it out.
I got it running and now it does EXACTLY the same thing it did before the swap. Namely: when you put the gear selector in D it does nothing but rev, but when I put it in L I get good engagement of 1st gear. I can then shift it through the gears manually.
I don't believe the converter is locking...does that make any sense? And could that be a wiring issue somewhere in the harness?
need some thoughts before I loose my mind!
