Unhappy C6 3rd Gear just slips

Throttle Cable snapped off at the pedal the other day,
Replaced cable, then test drove the rig to find out it will not
shift into third.

Made sure the vacuum hose was attached, checked and
changed the tranny fluid and filter, however, it will not shift
into third.


Haynes, does not elaborate futher for diagnostics.
Need some advice.

86 F250 6.9IDI.

Check the kickdown rod or cable. If it is in full throttle position you won't get 3rd.
