    gwill,
    If it is not shifting at all it is probably a problem with the TV cable.
    They have to be adjusted so that there is no slack in the cable and it reaches full pressure at full throttle. The only sure way to adjust the TV cable is to use a pressure gauge in the TV port and adjust the idle pressure to approximately 5psi and full throttle pressure at 80psi. If you drive it with the cable out of adjustment you can destroy the AOD.
