My 02 Mustang V6 had 200,000 miles on it along with the transmission and I change the engine and transmission with a set up that supposedly has under 70,000 miles. After replacing the engine and transmission with the newer one, the car will not move in any gear I choose and also in reverse the reverse lights don’t come on either. What is the problem?

Auto? Manual? In either case- the shifter connected?

Make sure the auto trans (I assume) fluid is at the full mark while in park, with the engine at operating tempature. The transmission is a hydraulic pump, and low fluid means no go.
