installed shiftkit, now tran won't shift -HELP
I have an '89 F150 4X4 xtended cab with a 302(FI) mated to a C6 tranny.
Earlier this week I purchased and installed a shift kit from B&M, the basic kit which only requires slight modification to the valve body. After completing install, replacing the pan, pouring approximately 5qts of fluid back in (i thought it would be enough until I could run it and check the level... I didn't want to overfill), I started it let it run for 5 minutes then attempted to shift into drive... The shifter wouldn't let me shift past N and even at that, Reverse didn't work either...
-I have contacted Jegs, who I bought it from and they don't know..
-B&M is closed on the weekends...
-Did I not put enough fluid in?
-Could I have not hooked the linkage correctly to the valve body when reinstalling it....?
-I have a haynes manual, but it does not show anything about internal parts to the automatic tranny.....
I don't know where to go from here....

the manual valve is the sliding valve on top of the valve body that hooks to the linkage that goes through case, the lever has to be in the first slot(of the valve) so the linkage slides the valve foward and reverse(your problem is more than likely yours is not in this slot)
