Default Torque converter question?

I just rebuilt engine and installed new B&M Holeshot 3000. My tranny worked fine before I installed and now the tranny acts weird. At idle I can rev engine and car feels like you have brake on and car is in drive. It wont shift into 4 gear. I have set cable correctly and checked fluid all seem to be correct. I have lock up and was thinking it was the lock up solenoid or the torque converter that was bad.Any in put would be appreciated.

It could just be a REALLY loose converter. I saved my pennies and dimes for a Vigalante. Good luck. You might wanna try the Corvette Racing Forum.

I have no neutral also. I put in N rolls back and catches. Does this mean torque converter is no good? :seeya

Something sounds wrong... I'm not that informed on TC but it should drive very well... I have a Vigilante 2800, & its almost like a stock one..

I'd remove it & have it checked... JMHO

Sounds like a linkage adjustment problem.
