I just got the car running again after 3 years. It starts off in second and won't shift to third. All I have is second gear. Trans hasn't been touched other than a filter and fluid change. TV cable is fine. I've had this happen with every engine rebuild and eventually it starts working, I just don't have 3 days to drive around in second. Any suggestions?

1-2 shift valve stuck forward. Do you have reverse?
Herb, let me know. Give a call or email if you feel the need.

Hi Bruce, this is Matt. I do have reverse. When this happened the last time, it had first and reverse only. I drove it around the neighborhood for a few hours and eventually it shifted and worked fine once it made the first shift. Where in the valvebody is the 1-2 shift valve located? I really don't want to drop it, is it something that can be freed up with a little tap or can I get a pick in there? Thanks for the help.
 
Found the problem. I pulled the pan and found the governor cover bolts loose, two were even backed out a bit. Checked the gasket, tightened the bolts and checked all valvebody bolts. It now has all gears. My luck usually isn't this good.
 
Maybe, just maybe....

Your luck is changing. Spring is close.
Say hello to your Dad for me and Mark and I still owe you for the bail out in 03. I am still undergoing treatment and surgeries for that accident.
I never forget who helps me out.:)

Thanks for the kind words. I'll say hi to my dad for you. You don't owe anything, I jump at any chance for a roadtrip, plus I got free Wendy's that night which made it all worth it. :) Good luck on the recovery.
