Missing 3rd on 904 trans

The kickdown cable is completely unhooked from the trans. The only lever hooked to the valve body is the main shift lever. When I did the rebuild I rebuilt the governor as per the instructions(by instructions i mean the YouTube video i was watching).

As far as the check balls go, the second valve body came out of a running transmission. The motor threw a rod while driving on the freeway so it was operating as advertised. For what it's worth the car has 3.55 gears out back.
