Disconnect the kick down and see if it will shift into third then. Just tried that. Same story.

Next step is to hook a gauge to the governor pressure test port, if the governor pressure is correct for the road speed and it won't shift, the problem is probably a stuck shift valve in the valve body or a missing check ball in the valve body.
What's the history of the trans? Been apart lately?

Transmission is the one from the Project Regretmobile Dodge Magnum that Eric Rood was intending to run at the 24 Hours of Lemons. At this point, I'm surprised that I have any forward gears. Here's where my ignorance needs to be cured. What do I need to get to check that pressure? All I've ever done with a trans is swap it in and out, and change filters.

I'm pretty sure it is an 1/8" NPT port in the trans case, Not sure what psi range gauge you need, John will chime it. EDIT I Googled it & they said it starts at zero & goes up about 1 psi for every 1 MPH. I'd get it up on stands, plumb the gauge in with some cheap plumbing pipe fittings & run it up & see what you get. Those gauges are reasonable.
