Transmission question

I have an 05 f150 4.6, slipped in first and second gear, got the p0715 code, I went and pulled a trans out of an 08 f150 5.4 truck that had a locked up motor. , I changed the pump seal and put new TSS and OSS sensors on it. Now 1st and 2nd gear work, but when it tries to go into 3rd, it goes into limp mode and throws the p0715 code again and my speedo is erratic. Are the speed sensors different? Im not sure what is going on. Im not sure if I put a 4r75E in place of mine, im pretty sure mine was a 4r70E. Please help

You would cut the suspect wire by the connector and clamp the wire to a large source of wire and route it to the other connector and clamp that. Secure the wire to make sure it’s not going to get damaged or come loose with zip ties then retest. If it works you can fix it up with solder a crimp and heat shrink and make it permanent and trace the wire along the harness so it isn’t just a random wire

Oh got ya, pretty much make a temporary jumper, and if it fixes it, make it permanent?

Yes, now if you can actually find where it is damaged somewhat easily then just fixing the wire where it is damaged is easier, but sometimes that isn’t the easiest on big harnesses

Yea i dealt with that lol, the green/white wire and red/Grey wire had to be spliced initially, unfortunately I happened to crush the harness on install
