904 no 3rd gear?Why?

I have this 904 that I took to the tranny shop to be looked over.My buddy says..looks like a re-build alls good,I say O.K put a stage 2 shift kit and order a 2500 stall.I get the tranny back,and am trying to set the kickdown,no luck with it shifting to 3rd.So I take the car there,and apparently it,s not shifting to 3rd.It shifts good 1st to 2nd,no 3rd?Also no problem with reverse.He said something about cervo?Anyway they have the car and am hoping to have it back for the weekend?Any ideas why I,m not getting 3rd?Thanks.


Ha, don't have an answer but the problem sounds really familiar! I have an A-518 that is doing the same thing. Its like the shift lever is in 2d gear (engine brakes same) but no 3d at all. Its in the shop right now. I also installed a shift kit (MOPAR Performance). Started out with no reverse, ball in wrong place (but installed per instructions). Removed ball and now 1 and 2 great but no 3....
