Thanks tjts1 for your response,

Yeah I was a bit worried about having that radiator and it may have had it.
The previous owner changed fluid and conductor plate filter and pan gasket.
When I got it all was very clean but I have no way of knowing what it looked like when he opened it. could have been trashed and he didnt want to deal with it. also I did change the valve body and sillynoids. My post was getting

pretty lengthy though. That is when i was able to get past 3rd gear and into 4th but it was a harsh shift and threw the implausable gear code. I can however manually shift now without throwing any codes, kind of crazy...I just read about a spring in the vb that breaks or gets weak and stops 4th gear shift. Could that be a possibility? Thanks again for your time.
