Take back to whoever rebuilt it. Make sure you have all the wiring connected.

I'm not a transmission expert but a quick thought is that the reverse band it over tight.

does the troubleshooter cover this?
band is good call
works in reverse?
not an electronics problem
he has an rh
and even an electronic trans would not be affected in first, second, direct
just OD and converter lock up
I do not think electronic governor would be the cause for no shift at all
