Transmission issues - 4R44E

Hello.
Have a 1999 Ranger...3.0 engine and 4R44E transmission....150,000 miles. Trans rebuilt around 100,000 miles after I lost reverse.
Just starting having a flaring issue on the 2-3 shift.
Based on research appeared to be a pretty common issue that could be resolved by a valve body replacement.
Got a complete Sonnax valve body and installed. Shifts all good and solid......but seems I've lost a gear.
1-2 shift is good...but with OD off, that's it....no more gears. If I turn OD on, then it up-shifts....but still more RPM than
it should be.
No codes...no blinking OD light...no other issues.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the help!!
Keith

Welcome to FTE.

Use, borrow, or come by the inexpensive ELM scan tool & run FORScan diagnostic freeware on the viewing device of your choice as it's tweaked for Fords, as discussed here, https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...-scantool.html
This powerful combo can query All of the vehicle computer / controllers for trouble code clues. or faulty or border line PID's, so can often help focus a trouble shoot. Post All code Numbers..
