No reverse or drive
I just got my C6 installed after 2 weeks of hunting the right converter. Know it wont go in reverse unless i floor the thing then only for a few feet. when i took it out on its first run it wouldnt shift from 2 to drive. the place that did the rebuild put a shift kit in for me. its on a 71 f100 w/360fe 2wd. vacume lines are good I checked them first thing.

I posted to you in the other message board as well.
Did you try replacing the vacuum modulator, and/or checking the vacuum line from the engine compartment to the modulator? I had a very similar problem with my 1967 F-100 original tranny. It wouldn't shift into 3rd, and 1st to 2nd was erratic. It acted just like there was some major mechanical problem with the gears or there was no fluid. I found out that the tranny's vacuum modulator rubber hose to steel pipe had fallen off in the engine compartment area. Hooked it back up to the pipe and all was well again. It must have rattled itself off, then again all my vacuum lines and rubber parts in general all needed replacing.
