Default Need input FAST !! Tranny in limp, not working

I just swapped the ls1 a4 in my car. The tranny doesnt seem to be shifting. I believe it to be in limp. Kinda starts in 2nd gear and doesnt really shift. Speedo is not reading either. Pin "E" at the round trans connector has 12v when the key is in run. Cant figure this out for the life of me. Someone please infor me. I have a maf p0102 and a p0118 code. Not sure if they are related.

There are fuses to other components. That can affect trans, And for shifting the speedo is a must have also. If you have a way to look at data you could probably tell alot, I would start with the speedo myself and go from there.

what could not be getting power ? I can go with a volt meter and a continuity tester if you give me some direction.

P0102 = Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor Circuit Low Frequency
P0118 - Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor Circuit High Voltage

It is most likely the wiring. I'm not the most savvy with the electrical systems on these things. I'll send a PM to someone I know who is. I'll have him check out this thread.
