Shift Kit

Tracy, correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't it have engine braking in 1st if it was simply a stuck 1-2 valve?
It seems like it would.

Also if it was a major problem with second circuit wouldn't it skip it and go right into third.
Right?

And if it was the governor it would still have engine braking in first.

Just trying think it through out loud, but not positive about the details.

Stuck or reversed TP valve???

It would definetly have braking if he pulled the shifter down into low. Now if it were a stuck 1-2 valve or governor I'm not sure, it may just free wheel. I haven't had one with the issue he has so I don't know by experience nor have I sat and studied the circuits that close to know.

You may have something there with an issue in the TP valve area. I have seen where guys put the throttle pressure valve outer sleeve on backwards and that causes extremely high upshift speeds. The sleeve will go on either way and looks the same on the outside but it has a ring inside it and if not installed the correct direction will basically hold the valve almost all the way in. That's why I asked him how fast he ran it up to when he test drove it because it should eventually shift, just at a real high rpm even when the TP valve sleeve is reversed.

7d do you have it apart yet? If not unhook the throttle pressure linkage coming down from the carb and tie the lever all the way forward on the trans. and try it. It may run all the way up to 4500 rpm before it shifts but if that's the problem it will eventually shift.
