I spent Saturday replacing the a4ld automatic transmission in my '93 explorer (second gear was gone). After it was installed i did a test drive, and found that it had horrible power, and could hardly rev past 3800rpm while in gear (would stumble and drop power, almost like a very crude rev limiter).
I thought it might have been because i had the exhaust cut off (i cut it a little after the o2 sensors, so i could get the trans out) so i put the exhaust back in but there was no change whatsoever.
i've gone around and around looking for vac lines or other things that got unplugged or came loose during the swap but can't find anything. i pulled codes and got code 33 (TPS noisey or something) so i swapped the TPS with one out of another explorer (which was running fine) and there was no change.
so, $40 (via paypal) to the first person who correctly diagnoses this issue. I've spent all day troubleshooting and gotten no where.
oh... and here's a video of said problem.
