727 pump/input shaft change.

That could very well be the problem a the rear clutch feed may be different. Your best bet is to air pressure test things when you get the correct pump. If the lip seal in the rear drum rolled or cut when you installed it that'll cause no forward gears. The rear clutch is responsible for all forward gears. If it doesn't engage you ain't going nowhere. What I do is flip the pump and clamp it in the vice with a rag or soft jaws and stack the clutch packs on it just like it's assembled when in the trans when apply about 30 psi of air to the locations on the pump that feed each clutch pack and make sure it engages good. Don't worry if you have some air leakage. Air will leak far easier than oil so it's common. Just need to know if each clutch pack is engaging good

I did air test it with the old/correct pump that I removed from the trans. It all air tested great. But I last minute decided to swap in a new pump I had.

I ended up pulling the transmission out and swapping the pump out. I put the transmission back in and it works great! The early pump on a late input shaft doesn't work.
