Is the linkage adjusted correctly???
Make sure the front band is adjusted correctly, if it is too tight it won't release.
It mat be the clutches are worn out or the valve body is toast.
sounds like your throttle linkage (to trans) is not adjusted properly -- it needs more pressure!

Adjust it until the shift points are right and the part-throttle kickdown works.

The throttle linkage is set as follows:
No throttle = 5% kickdown pulled back
1/4 throttle=25% kickdown
1/2 =50%
3/4 =75%
wot =98% (so that it changes gears at 5500 in drive)

the kick down was unhook but tied to not move at all but when i first started to drive it the trans slip pretty bad i adjusted it and then it worked fine

I drop the pan and have a look to see whats in it.Chances are the clutch is toast.

i think they are toasted the oil was pretty black. i have installed my spare tranny it is the 727 it bolted in nicely. i did have to have my drive line cut thanks for the help FBBO
