wow. care to elaborate on why exactly you think it is "fucked up"? i mean, you must have wonderous diagnostic skills in order to determine that with such little information given.

anyways. op. what exactly is happening? you can't shift to drive on the selector?
can select drive, but car won't shift when in drive? what repairs did you make prior to this? and before the repairs this problem wasn't occurring?

Ditto all the above^^^

Need lots more info.

When you say, "it wont go into drive and only drive" does that mean shifter will not go into the drive position or it will go into the drive position but car will not move?

When you say, "can hit all other gears no problemo" does that mean the other gears work, car moves? 94

you can select every gear just fine on the selector. it will not move when in drive. just revs the motor. i select reverse and it moves no problem. low 1 and 2 or whatever are just fine just will not move when in drive.

originally the tranny felt like it would drop when shifting from park to drive. shifting felt kinda laggy and jumpy then we pulled the whole motor cuz of a blown head gasket. so i said **** it im replacing them all. i have no maintnance records on the car whatsoever and have drove it for 30k doing normal maintnance but i figured it coudlnt hurt at like 150k miles on the cluster. replaced every gasket there is motorwise. we did seperate the tranny from the motor but the tranny was left untouched.

have you checked for codes at the TCM?
silly question, but have you checked your fluid?
there will be several shift solenoids located on the transmission. did you disconnect any of them? are you sure nothing was left disconnected?
if level is good, i would probably check for power after the selector. if power exists, check at the solenoid(s)
check TCM codes first though

tcm is transmission control module. there should be an led located on the tcm. key on engine off, the led will flash the code(s).

is your d3 light on at the gauge cluster?

it means there's a code stored in the tcm. to retrieve the code, you must locate the tcm. then, KOEO, the led on the tcm will flash the code(s)

how did you "make it go away"?
