trany help

I have a 700r4 transmission and i was on my way home when i stoped at a stop sign when i took off it shifted in to first fine but wont shift in to 2nd. I had no problems with it before and i still have reverse and nutrul and park. A friend said it could be my governer gear. I hate to drop the trany if it is that, so i was wondering what u guys have to say.

well the first thing you should check is your kick down cable be sure it isnt broke, kincked or pinched any where especially inbetween motor and the bell housing

My tranny did that 3 times before i had it it was a govener gear.

HAve you checked your fluid??

I checked my kick down cable and its good i also took out my governer gear and thats good and my fluids r good. The fluid smells burnt really bad tho i stopped at the only place that speclelized in tranys and they want $1200 for a rebuild and i am not even going to ask a dealer ship since they screwed me over on my last car. so any quick way to fix it or should i start saving  my $?

Does your trans work if you throw it down into first and shift manually through all the gears?

No it dozn't a guy at autozone said it could be a sencer if so which one and how much to they cost

Adjust your tv cable this controls line pressure, shift points firness etc. with the engine off and the throttle at idle position,push the button onthe side of the cable housing in , cable shouldslide all the way in the housing. then open the throttle lever wide open, the cable should slide out to the correct position, releasethe button

I got a turbo 400 transmission for free, but it has vacum kickdown. Some one told me all i have to do is get a different intake manafold is that true or do i have to do other stuff to
