Check the TV cable, and make sure it isn't sticking.

Does speedometer work?

+1 on checking TV cable.

How is the fluid level (and please tell us you used ATF+4 and checked it in neutral!)

Might as well check it in case, but I don't think the TV cable as anything to do with 2nd to 3rd up shift. I'd say rebuild time.

21 - 494 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 46RE BR/BE
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 46RE (Continued)
CONDITION POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTION
HAS FIRST/REVERSE
ONLY (NO 1-2 OR 2-3
UPSHIFT)
1. Governor Circuit Electrical Fault. 1. Test using DRBT scan tool and repair as
required.
2. Valve Body Malfunction. 2. Repair stuck 1-2 shift valve or governor
plug.
3. Front Servo/Kickdown Band
Damaged/Burned.
3. Repair/replace.
