You never said if it's a automatic shift valve body or full manual shift. Assuming it's a full manual in which case I can't help with any specific ideas, just check everything over. If it's an automatic shift and you have a pressure gauge you can check the governor pressure and see what it looks like. Should be nearly zero (no more than 1.5~2 psi max) when the trans is in gear but the wheels aren't turning. It's possible it's a stuck governor. If the pressure checks ok it's quite possible it's the 2-3 shift valve stuck.

Have you read the sticky on TCI transmissions? It's at the top of the page. Their valve bodies seem to be ok but I rarely here of anyone that's happy with one of their complete transmission's in a Mopar.
