Sounds like you swapped in a Transmission with a lower final drive ratio. What would this do, You ask?
Whereas your Tach indicated 3000rpm at 65mph before, with a lower final drive ratio it now shows 2400rpm at 65mph; effectively dropping it out of the powerband and making it a real "dog" unless you downshifted.

What car did it come out of?

also i still have the auto gauge cluster in and the d4 light is blinking what would that indicate something wrong with the motor or it just messed up because the auto is no longer there?

well just check the gear ratios for both lx and ex f22 trannys and there the same and the final drives for the auto and manual are only diffrent by the auto having a 4.133 and the manual being a 4.062

welp figured it out on my own apparently hard wiring it into park is a bad idea because it has basicly a rev limiter im think so just used the 5spd ecu like i should have in the first place now its breakin loose all the way up to 4th
