Can you give a few more specifics, like is 1st reverse? Or can you even get down into the indicated 1st gear? What was the shift kit you used?
A litte more info and we might be able to help out.

Have you pulled the valve body back out and looked it over to see if you put something in wrong? Not giving you a hard time, just trying to cover the basics before diving head 1st and saying your hosed!

i did pull valve body back out. the only thing ichanged was the green springs [it said for faster shifts to do this]so ijust put one back instead of 3.the lever outside the valve body if it wasent in the right spot could it posably cause this.it did also tell me to drill a hole in valve body to release fluid faster

Did you drill the hole? As for the lever not being in the right spot as per the destrutions, then that could be part of your problem. So I am guessing it was working with the 3 springs in it, and you pulled the body, removed 2 of the springs, and put it back in. Then this happened? You gotta give more info, I really don't want to do this this spoon feeding info as to how this happend to give you an answer.

Id be willing to bet that what you changed converted your valve body to a full manual reverse body.
P = Park
1 = Reverse
2 = 1st
D = 2nd
R = 3rd/Drive
If youre going by the column indicator
With the vast amount of specs you gave thats my best guess. I want to see pics of said ranger and specs on said 533.
