A904-No first gear with a Turbo Action Valve Body

The vavle body is manual/auto.When put in 3rd-drive does not shift up-seems to be in third gear all the time.Not sure if thats the way its intended to be or not.I bought the car with no motor,4 dry rot tires and terable to no brakes,so only had it out a few times before this problem came up.Sounds like I have some more reading/research to do b/4 buying a trans if can not get this one fixed.
