Archived rebuilt transmission for the boss... :/

[TheDodgeMan69]

Just finished installing the rebuilt 47re for my boss. rebuilt the trany with a napa kit, bought a trans go shift kit (TFOD-HD2) and a hughes towing tc. started it for the first time to check the oil and top it off, and found out it doesnt work. when you put it in any gear, r d 2 1, i feel it "clunk" into gear like usual, but it slips when i try to drive it. so bad that i had to put it into 4lo to get it to move at all. not really sure what i did wrong. any help would be greatly appreciated. i ran the trans thru all the gars slowly several (hundred) times to make sure there was no air in the lines but its still the same.

All the torque converters I've installed require you to install them on the input shaft as far as it will slide then rotate it 1/2-3/4 turn in each direction with a slight amount of pressure while supporting it with both hands. It should "clunk" in about another 1/2" or so.
It sounds like that might be your problem if you didn't do that.

if that was the case, though wouuldnt the transmission not bolt up to the engine? i slid it on the trans when it was still on the benck an made sure it went on both niput shafts and was locked into the oil pump. heres a dumb question, but could the rear servo and band be my problem? i am noticing that i dod a mod to the spring and installed a spacer with the trans go kit and come to find out at the top of the page it says to skip the step if you have a diesel. . :/
