Default Swapped valvebody, what did I screw up?

Swapped a valvebody out and everything seemed to go together fine. Started it up and check the fluid, fine, put it in reverse, nothing. Put it in neutral and wheels start moving like its in drive. Try OD, it moves fine, D fine, 2nd fine, then put it in 1st and nothing. What did I f*ck up?

I would check the manual valve linkage rod. It is the little metal rod that attaches the manual valve to the rooster cone. I have seen this happen many times in my 17 years of doing this. Check that first. Vince


Here is a picture of what you will be looking for.

Checked that, it was set right to begin with. What else can I check?

Thanks

I would suggest going over all your steps again. Making sure that you have all you check ***** in the right locations and the valve body gaskets on the right side of the separator plate. I sounds like you have a major leak. Go over your work again and you will probably find it.
