I'd have a local builder build it and install it,that way if there's a problem,it's their problem,not your problem. I would not pay 700.00 for a used one.

I will do it for $8400. I will even give you a hug after.
I all seriousness I would use a local shop if they are price competitive.
Jasper offers 3 year/100,000 mile warranty. Parts and labor on their remans.

I'd want to make sure it needs opened up before I started looking for a rebuild. BUT, if you description is corrrect. So this is why it's critical when explaing a problem that you are very very specific on what happens.
So I see we now know we are talking about a 700r4, so we can leave vac modulator out of the issue since 700r4 doesn't have one like a Th350 or Th400 does. So, we're down to TV cable and Governor.
You first mentioned it just won't shift out of first gear. That could be a hung up TV valve which cable could be or not be what's causing the TV valve to hang up. Orrr, the governer either has a stripped gear or the valve is stuck in the governor.
Then you mention, it doesn't shift out of first gear, but it takes off in first, then the RPMS go way up but the truck won't go. That tells me, it is actually shift from 1st gear, but it's trying to get to 2nd gear and 2nd gear doesn't exist so the RPMS runaway since it's hunting for something that no longer exists which would mean it needs to come out and be rebuilt. I have a feeling if you took the pan off, you'll like to find some shiney mangled metal parts. I think the intermediate roller cluch broke.
I do know a guy who once drove a truck with no second gear for over a year before he rebuilt it. There's a trick to it though. So you put in manual 1st, take off, pick up some speed, wind it up pretty good and 700r4 having a lower 1st gear, it might be tough to get the speed fast enough, but what you're doing is trying to get enough speed in manual first gear, then let off the throttle completely and put it in D, not OD, but D as in 3rd gear and it might go to 3rd then OD if you're on the freeway going fast enough. By doing this, you're faking out the governor so it'll skip 2nd and go into 3rd. I know it works on a Th350, maybe not a 700r4. But they 2 do have a few similaries, but they also have several differences.

Hold up now,
I was just about to call this a troll thread especially with the above quote$$
The OP has never confirmed that he has a 700. It was only assumed on the first reply, and we all ran with it.
Liam, can you provide us with a picture of the pan? From below so we can see the shape.

He said TV cable so I assumed he knew what he was talking about,so 700r4. And then I went and looked at previous posts,he had problems with his 700r4 on other posts,which I went back and read.He lost 3rd and 4th first on the highway and had it towed home,now he just has 1st.

I wasn’t calling anyone out, and I’m not playing detective to figure out what the op has. I Just want to make sure we are not talking about something that the op doesn’t have.
The pan shape in the pic above verifies 700.
