Well, for starters the unit you got out of the junkyard is well, junk.
You have to get everything lined up correctly. You should be installing a new torque converter. I myself have always opted to rebuild the old transmission.

fix it . Any help ?

You have to push the torque converter on while rotating it. Just a little back and forth should do it until it gets to the pump drive, then you'll probably need to twist it a bit further. There should be three steps to it.

Yup, you have to rotate the torque converter until it fully engages and seats where it should, and as you push the engine and trans together, all the parts have to be perfectly aligned.
What makes you think your trans will cost $2000 to rebuild?
All you need is a valve body rebuild kit and a couple other parts, if you do it yourself, $500 is typical, $900 at most (if there is a lot of hard parts damage). When done correctly you get a trans thats better than new. A used trans is nowhere near new condition, you might get a year or two, assuming that it hasn't been improperly rebuilt previously.

thanks Ford six . But what do you mean "check the adjustment on the switch" ? It just screws in to the transmission and you hook the wire up . How do you adjust it ???????
