Default shifting problems

a little more information,about 4 years ago i broke the sprague in the transmission,i drove the truck by manually shifting it from low to second,i did not know at the time what was wrong(found out about sprauge later when i talked to rebuilder) i drove truck to aamco they where doing free diagnostic service,they said that my computer would not communicate with there computer, the rebuilder knew what i had done to it before he even saw the transmission. this problem never showed its self until i installed rebuilt unit,i hope this clears up some of you questions,thank you for replying

Default shifting problem

some more information, after we installed the tranny and filled it with atf plus 4 we went on a road test,the transmission did not want to shift back to low gear after shifting up,somre times it would delay down shift and other times it would shift if i bumped the throttle, when the trouble code came on it would not shift at all until i cleared the code,i broke the tvi cable and am waiting on a new one before i drive it again, after i broke the cable it would not shift to second properly so i parked it thanks for your help
