She moves!

Well last Saturday... I put the front bumper back on.. Filled the transmission up with fluid, and away I went.
The Escort runs.
After two months of pain and suffering without my car, it is alive.
I'm driving without a kickdown cable because it's pinched someplace, or messed up on the inside(i hope not).
Anyway, I have to let off the gas before it will shift gears, but I assume that that has to do with no kickdown cable, because it just makes sense.
My old transmission was going though, because it did not have the same responce and acceleration that this one has.
:-D
Just figured I would let you guys know that it was all finished, and I've been driving it for over a week now.
(I will figure out the kickdown cable sometime this week)
Thanks to everyone for all the help I've gotten.
