Well had it shifting now it goes in reverse for a second then kicks out and get up to speed in drive it goes to neutral until you drop it in 3rd
 






Queston could the solenoid pack I bought be defective it was remanufactered
 












Got it off eBay out of California and fluid level is good
 












If you put the selector in 2, will it manually go into 2nd?

If so, you have a bad solenoid or wire or pin issue on the transmission harness plug.

Mine did this when my solenoid pack broke.

I lost 2nd completely in drive, but manual 2nd worked.
 






Yes it will go it to 2nd and I already replaced the plug because the bolt broke off in the other solenoid
 






Sounds like a bad solenoid.

I bought a new one and read somewhere that those solenoids can’t be rebuilt.
 






Didn't look like they could be but everywhere I look they say refurbished
