OK the cable is attached and actuating the valve. I plugged the vaccum line to the modulator and it made no difference in the shifts. I stopprd on a steep hill and started out and it still shifted 1234 and lugged in 4th.

It will not kick down with the foot switch, What would be the symptoms if the kick down solenoid was stuck?

Is there any way to check anything else without dropping the pan? and even if I drop the pan what should I be lookin for?
