Thumbs up Need some ABS help

So yeah, i just resently did a tranny swap, all went well until i got it all put back together. It seems to me like my brake power booster isnt working or something. The brakes are hard to apply, basiclly it feels like the booster went out. After driving over 20 mph the ABS light comes on and stays on till you shut it off, i checked the direction of vaccum flow through the booster vaccum line making sure the chech valve was facing the correct way. anywho any info will be benifical.

Is it possible that you accidentally disconnected or damaged one of the ABS trigger wires?

Check the vacumm hose on the booster that it isn't in backwards. There is a check valve in there and Tom and I made the same mistake during my swap.
