If it were a stuck kick down switch - wouldn't he be stuck in first or put back into first quiet quickly? Or don't you get kick down in second? I don't know that's why I'm asking...


I think the problem could be more related to the shifter as the transmission has been out of the car - was the shifter properly set up?

The ATSG 722.1 manual states the mostly likely causes for not being able to shift past 2 are

1) Selector sleeve detached
2) Command valve jammed
3) Governor pressure too low.

I couldn't find a similar section in the 722.3 manual - sorry... so I hope this helps / makes sense
