Hello everyone, i swapped a new 4r44e into my 98 ranger 3.0 and it only stays in first gear regardless of being in drive, 2, or 1. I replaced the valve body gaskets, shifter lever, (on the inside of the trans pan) Filter, fluid, and neutral safety switch. No matter how high i rev it, it wont shift. Additionally there arent any sounds being made and the car will go forwards/ backwards 4x4 or 2wd. If anyone can think of anything please let me know!
