Maybe a bad shift solenoid or bad solenoid connector.

Nope, not possible, try again.

No solenoids are used to engage reverse. You can energize or disconnect all the solenoids are reverse will still work.

If you don't have third or fourth gears and reverse doesn't work then the direct clutch isn't working. Something went wrong inside the direct clutch.

<<<@!1!@>>>

Check out this video. Sounds like a possibility with not shifting beyond second gear.

It talks about the 2-3 up shift valve stuck because a bolt over tightening which causes the valve to stick after a rebuild.

He also indicates there's a new upgraded valve made to prevent this condition.

Hope it helps.

It ended up being a sticky 3-4 valve ran great, ran errands around town with no problems shifted great then came home went to park and it acted like the torque converter wouldnt release put it drive rpms drop to 500 and somtimes stalls with foot on brake if given power it moves but is quite noisy with hard shifts reverse works fine? What now
