Re: Transmission skipping 2nd gear

Ok guys/gals I recieved my new shift solinoids, removed the pan and replaced them. Easy as pie-- When I pulled the one on the right (passenger side of tranny) out there was really no (spring) presure on it. At least not like the one to the left of it--that is when I noticed it. On one valve there was a rod sticking out that seemed to have some type of spring presure on it but not the other. Is this normal? I would assume so!
So anyhow I installed both solidoids, pluged them in, put the pan back on and added some fluid to normal operating range. Then came the test drive--Now it starts out in third gear unless I manually shift it to 2nd. Before it was going from 1st to third and so forth and now it dont seem to want to find first--only second, third, drive--OD. What the he!!. It is also the same downshifting,downshifts only manually.

So withis being said, the truck only shifts manually both upshifting and downshifting. not automatic!

Is there a fuse, should I disconnect/reconnect the battery, I am at a loss. I will probably pull the pan back off and try to see if there is something amiss. By the way--no codes or service engine light yet. Any positive inputs are welcome please!
