It has to be a connection. If you swapped the wiring, ECU/trans/motor etc that's really all it can be. I dont think the engine compartment to cabin harness are different or would cause that, nor should the under hood relay center. Either that or the trans is bad?

then i would unplug and look at all trans connections and make sure all pins are straight. make sure every thing is plugged in fully to the trans.
