bobtail ed

Hello Iv built a new buggy that a fitted an auto box in iv built it from scratch after the 2nd gear box I now have drive because I think I aligned the torque converter correctly But I took it for a test drive today and it seams to be stuck in top gear and struggles setting off. from looking on the internet I think its the lack of kick down cable or lack of oil or just because its been sat for a while if it because I don't have a kick down cable then does any one have a photo of how it fits on the carbs or is it that I don't know a thing about autos thanks for your time reading this ed

thinking of building a internal external cage over the summer for a bobtail rangerover but not sure what the best way is to attach to chassis (rock sliders maybe) and where to put the bars has any one built one and do they have any photos or advice on what they would change if they did it again
