Default Please help odd problem

i have a 95 sc300 i did a complete 2jzgte swap with auto tranny and now after the swap i have encounter a wierd problem. Everytime after i reverse my car then drive forward it feels like something is restricting the car from going forward but after about 300 feet it drive perfectly fine unless i put it into reverse then forward again i would incounter the same problem. It just feels like the car is moving but slight brake is applied but i never stepped on the brakes and i have check the brakes and there is nothing wrong with them..

It would be helpful to isolate the symptoms to either the drive train or the rolling chassis. Try reversing up a slight incline and then put the car in neutral and observe whether it still feels like there's resistance for it to roll forward downhill or not. (Drive around again and compare it to how it feels on the same slope in neutral after you've driven it 300 feet or so too)

Also, make sure the parking brake is not engaged at all. Sometimes it's possible to run over something and have it snag/bind/pull the parking brake cable into engagement even when the handle is not set.
