Angry Change Auto trans fluid and no the car wont start...WTF!

I changed the fluid and filter in the transmission of the 87 N/a. Put it back together. Then used a prybar a found out both motor mounts where holding the motor...(by the way, any one have spare mounts i could buy?) It worked fine before but now i turn the key and hear a buzz noise from somewhere. What the hell happened?

Things i did --> remove battery cable to set if ECu needed reset.

-->Everything is connected
-->has fuel


My possible --> the shifter is lose as hell. I can move from drive to neutral without pushing the button. Did i somehow F*** up the park or neutral switch!?! i wanted to drive it to the HIN but.....

Check over the wiring around the transmission. Maybe you hit the starter interlock wires. If the mounts aren't holding the motor up, what is?

appearently it just sits on what is left on the mounts. Under accel. it seems like the drive is holding the motor down. yeah
