Default 96 SS won't go into first gear?

Switched out the pcm from an obd ll to an obd l so i could tune with tuner cat and now the car won't go into first or hit overdrive. Doesn't matter if i manually shift it or leave the car in drive. Any Ideas?

Is the OBDI PCM for an auto or manual transmission?

It installs just the same. No wiring is needed. You have to delete some stuff in the tune thats it.

You can always send it to a mail order tuning place to have it analyzed or reflashed.
