727 not shifting right

I haven't had much experience with manual valve bodies so I haven't seen everything but if it had a governor plug installed wouldn't that prevent fluid from reaching the governor? If so wouldn't the governor pressure always be at zero? If that's the case it'd always stay in low gear. Someone correct me if that's wrong

.............Well Tracy the trans will start off in 2nd unless u manually shift it to the 1st gear position, if their is a gov plug installed...u need to remove it or drill a hole in it, I believe u only need a 1/8th inch hole.....this info is in the TF-3 kit if u want to return from manual to auto shifting, ofcource there is alittle more to it that, u also have to reverse the plate that was installed to make it manual in the first place.......kim.......
