Hi everyone. My 1st post here. I need your help. I have a 82 LJ78 for the last 4 years. I got tired of the underpowered 2LTE engine and swapped it with a 1KZTE but kept the transmission from old engine. Now, it is giving me troubles (tranny has been rebuilt once as it was slipping in all gears and sometimes just not hooking up at all).
1st problem: Now it acts like a CVT when the OD is on. RPM gets up to 2800 and stays there while the veh gathers speed. There is no discernible change of gears till 70kph, when the OD engages. Sometimes, (not every time), at speeds above 80kph, when I press the accelerator, the transmission seems to slip... rpm increases significantly before the veh accelerates.
2nd Problem: when I move the gear selector to 2, L is engaged and vice versa.

Can someone please advise me how to fix these issues. I plan to go for an expedition soon and need the veh in perfect condition before that. Thank you.
