Re: valve body replacement
the only thing that would be in the valve body causing it not to shift into 2nd would be the Tv cable plunger. Other than that it sounds like your 2-4 band is a goner. You will probably have to pull the trans and get it rebuilt or the 2-4 band replaced along with a new 2-4 servo
