Are you sure all the cables and plugs are connected?

The transmission should still engage even without any electrical hooked up, as long as the shift linkage is hooked up. Did you fill it with fluid, start the jeep, fill it with fluid again, and check it while it warmed up? Did you remember to bolt the flywheel to the torque converter? I have had guys so excited it was in that they started doing something else but forgot to put those bolts in. lol
