Not even cranking may mean a missing electrical connection, a bad starter relay, or your anti theft is activated (although on your vehicle I don't think the anti theft prevents cranking...) I would focus on electrical connections.

Have you tried starting it in neutral? Since you replaced the transmission the shifter linkage or shifter cable may be out of adjustment. Hope that helps! Jim
