No Reverse & slipping 1st Gear

[rangerfanatic]

Hello all,

I have rebuilt my 2006 Ford Ranger 5R44E Transmission back to specs this weekend, and now the torque converter bound up so I had break the bellhousing bolts out and found out that my torque converter was not all the way in I got it in and now I am finding out that my truck would back out of the garage but once in drive it would not pull itself, if I put it in 1st gear it would move but slip? is this a bad oil pump possibly due to me binding up the torque converter or maybe a damaged torque converter? if I let it sit for a few mins after wards reverse will work but for a few seconds, any info would help...


Thanks,

Could be any of those or some other damage. Tightening the bell housing bolts jams about a 1/4 inch into where it should not go. You didn't say if 4x4 but if it is, you sure you used a 4x4 filter? Anything I say is just a guess at this point.
