what can make the auto trannys in 5.0s SKIP 3rd gear and go straight into OD? i just had the damn thing rebuilt. if it makes a difference, the car has a B&M lock up 2400 stall converter, and stock rear gears. i've never had this problem before. thanks

The kickdown cable is connected, right? Also, is the fluid level good?

Did you reset/adjust it properly? Sounds just like mine before it went out.
