i just change my tranny & replaced it with one that came out of a wrecked car. the car was hit in the back & had no front end damage & only had 3k miles but when i put it in drive nothing happens, when it is in reverse it works perfect, i did had to cut & splice the wire harness that plugs into the transmission because the wire in my car was damage, i am sure all the wires were put together correctly because they are color coded, but i am not saying that the wiring is not the problem , if anyone no what the problem is help me please....thanks in advance for your help

I'm not really sure if CVT's are just plug and play like that...

Why did you change tranny's?
