auto tranny won't shift after B18 swap

[kaspann]

Just swapped in a B18 into 91 integra with auto. Original engine blew. New engine works great but auto transmission now will not shift out of 1st. I can manually go to 2nd (sometimes).

I thought maybe the transmission took damage so we just swapped that out today and SAME THING. All the posting I see talk about something with the transmission itself, but that is impossible at this point. I am 100% sure this transmission is perfect.

I could really use some assistance on this one.

your shift cable is probably kinked or damaged. take off the center console and look for anything unusual. take a look in the underside of the car, follow the shifter cable routing and look for damage or cracks to the shifter cable itself.

check your passing gear cable it might be to lose or to tight , u could adjust it , its next to the throttle cable
