Have you tried an ecu reset mate ? Disconnect the battery for a few minutes.

Also check ATF levals.... had the same prob when we had a torque coverter seal leak. Drove home (8 miles) stuck in third. Scary.

Does the light flash once or twice per second?

If it does it with engine off too, then make sure all your electrical connectors are secure. Seeing as you've just changed the 'box, I would start there - One iffy connection and the gearbox ECU pulls the plug!

Does it try and start in 3rd gear, and never move out of it?

Yep sure does it drives fine apart from the fact it starts in 3rd and wont change out of it
