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
