I have finally got my tc swap running, but now it won't go into gear while it is running. it is tough but i can get it into second, third, and fourth, but no first, fifth, and reverse. when i put the drivetrain back together, i threw a new 87' tc clutch up under there, but i used the n/a bellhousing...does anybody have an idea what the problem could be?

Did you allign the clutch properlly? Was the cable installed properlly?

Bellhousing should not matter.

should I have used the cable from the TC, because i was told that the regular cable from the mustang would not engage the clutch enough as opposed to the hydraulic one from the TC

Either cable should work...

If the trans is installed, the clutch is aligned, there is no way around that.

It's an adjustment problem.
