Unhappy Help!! My A4 wont move in any gear(After motor rebuild)!!

Well, I just finished my rebuild and tried to back it out of the driveway and it wont move! I had a buddy of mine help me bolt the tranny to the block.
Is there a certain way it needs to go on?> What would cause this. Help.
Could it be a sensor not plugged in?

Dumb question but did you connect the flexplate to the torque conveter?

make sure you use loctie and grade 8 steel nuts and bolts. shop that did my th350 install used some cheap chrome plated bolts and after about 1000 miles they backed off. i kept hearing this banging sound when the car would idle, it was the fact that there was about an inch of play between the flexplate and torque converter.if the nuts had backed completely off at the track i would have been screwed.
