200R4 wont shift out of 1st

[smiths86cutlass]

About a month ago I purchased a low mileage (33k) 1986 Cutlass Supreme 307 with 4 speed automatic. This car sat for 10 years and did a basic tune up but no fluid change on the trans as it looked fine. Yesterday I went to the local car show drove fine there but on the return drive home I noticed it would not shift into any upper gears. I havent drove this car no more than 150 miles since the purchase. I dropped the pan and the typical wear and fine particles in the pan were there. I also dropped the governor and checked the springs which were good. the only other thing I havent checked is the TV cable but am waiting on a drain plug kit to be delivered to avoid the mess of trans fluid. Any help would be appreciated .

The tv valve could be stuck. Will it shift manually? Here are some screen shots fir trouble shooting from my atsg manual

sounds like you need a trans...

Probably a little late responding. I had the same problem when I first put my 2004r in. It wouldn't shift out of first. The TV adjustment is critical. Make sure it is adjusted for full TV at WOT, no more no less. Once mine was adjusted it shifted fine. Had me scared.

I have had this happen multiple times. If the TV checks out, proper setting and not stuck, pull the pan. If you lose a check ball and spring in the governor, you get no upshifts.
