I recently changed engine ,autotrans,wiring ,interior from a 93 Festiva into an 88 festiva shell. Everything went fairly smooth, but on intial road test it doesn't shift right. It moves fine reverse is good .. If I stand on it it will shift to second but won't shift to high. I'm not an expert on this type of unit so any help will be much appeciated,

Make sure the vacuum line is hooked up. Mine is the yellow striped hose at the back of the manifold. It goes down to a metal tube that runs on top of the transmission to the bottom front, just a picture to clarify and for future searches.

did the tranny work fine before you swapped everything? Are sure the linkage is lined up right? If you move the shifter a little towards neutral will it go into gear?"FLTG4LIFE" @FINALLEVEL , "PBH"

I would lean more to the vaccuum hose as it did work fine before and the gears seem to be in the right position. I'll look into it and report later ThanksComment
