Not holding revs through the range

Hello!

I'm nearing completion with my 190E 2.5-16 but this one has me stumped...
I still have no kickdown, but I'm not worried about that at the moment, now my issue is this:

Previously, when everything was working perfectly, more accelerator pedal = higher revs before gear change (it's an auto).

But now, when I give it some, it still changes at 3000rpm irrespective how much pressure I'm putting on the pedal!

I've pulled the bowden cable out all the way, but that hasn't made a difference. I know the cable itself is very stretched, so could it be that it's beyond the threshold and is now not putting any real pressure on the gearbox?

As I said, it was working perfectly before the engine swap, but it has been standing for a year and until recently hadn't been driven. I've obviously flushed all the fluid and replaced the filter, but now I'm a bit stuck.

Could it be related to no kickdown? I know the kickdown wire isn't plugged into the solenoid at the moment due to the end connector being torn off, but I have yet to address that issue.

Thanks for any help, these auto boxes are beyond me.
