ok, we need a bit more info here...

The engine bogs when put into gear or does it slam hard into gear something like a clutch being dropped on a manual?

If it just bogs down when put in gear usually some more timing advance helps, check the timing and adjust as neccisary.

If it slams had into gear thats most likely the TCC stuck locked. After a quick check that their isnt power going to the solenoid at all times you will have to pull the pan and check the solenoid it could be jammed.
