904 transmission wont shift into 1st

I think your on to something Greg. Could very well be an exploded and seized up planetary. I'd drop the pan and see if there's any shrapnel in it. If no shrapnel in the pan they probably screwed up the shift kit installation so it might be best to just find a different valve body and start from scratch

The only thing I could think of that would lock the car up in low gear, and cause it to skip first in drive.
