HELP ME!! '00 1500 5.3 to 6.0 swap, now won't go into gear
I have a 2000' Silverado and I just pulled the 5.3 and put in a 6.0. I got it all put back together and the motor started and ran fine. The problem I am having is now it won't go into gear. I am using the old wire harness and computer from the last truck and it starts/runs fine with the 5.3 computer minus the SES light. I am also using the original tranny. Another wierd thing happens now. When I shift the tranny from "3" to "D" the starter engages. With the truck off if I hold the shifter in between "3" and "D" I can actually start the truck. I am at a loss here. I have checked all the wires I can and I can't find any that might be pinched causing a short and I have no idea why the tranny now won't work when it worked fine before.
I am in desperate need of help,

So, you are using the harness , computer, & trans from the truck? The only thing changed is the motor correct? I would say something is pinched or maybe a connector reversed, go over everything assume nothing.................

Yes, but I got it slid all they way back in. I used the flexplate from the old motor. When I went to bolt the plate to the TC it did seem to have an excess amount of space in there around 3/16" gap.
