Problem after swapping tranny

[vwmannen]

Hi. My 96 Explorer 4.0 SOHC auto had a 4r55e transmission that died a while ago. I found a 98 5r55e box that was working fine i the donorcar. as i read on this forum, i changed over EPC og TCC valves from the 4 speed box.
The intension is to get the 5speed box working as a 4 speed.

BUT, with everything fitted i fired up the car (Prefilled 4 quarts of mercon v together with new filter). No response from the gearbox, it will not engage any gears, and the oillevel does not drop on the dip (moved over from 4speed box)
I let it idle for 30min without any change.

Any suggestions ?

It's possible that the range sensor is out of alignment.

i didnt think the car wouldt start then ? i had a look at it and it seems fine to me, but i have to say im not 100% sure how it`s supposed to be.

Do you see the back up lights turn on when it's in reverse?
