NEED HELP!!! 700r4 wont shift into 2nd,3rd 4th!!!

I was on my way home from a local car show, and decided to floor it since there's an open highway dead ahead. It shifts great all the way up till 4th at around 3500 rpms, and then I come slowly to a stop. When I accelerate at a regular rate again, (in OD) it keeps turning rpms' like there's nothing left but 1st! It went all the way to 4000 without shifing up! I have absolutely no idea what is causing this problem. Any help is greatly appreciated. ( Current tranny mods are: 500 boost valve, 26K stall, shift kit, kevlar clutches and aluminum driveshaft)

Thanks for all input,
Will

Anybody? Please help. This is very frustrating, and I hope the soloution can be done myself, as I don't have the funds to get a shop to fix this. Thanks for your time.

The governor gear is most likely stripped or broken. Solution, pull governor and replace the gear, make sure you put a O-ring on the governor cover on the install. Hit the outside of the governor cover only when putting it back in.

Thanks a lot ProBuiltAutomaticss! I'll try to get her jacked up and check the governor gear. If I still haven't solved this, I'll PM you back. Thanks once again. Help is always appreciated.

This happened to my 700r4 and it was the governor gear that needed replacement.
