9000T Auto Trans stuck in first gear

So I found a replacement for my blown up transmission & installed it. Pretty straight forward, not too much trouble. Not many parts left over ;). I have one very small vacuum line that I need to find a place to plug in, but I can hear the vacuum leak under the intake manifold somewhere, so I know I'm close. The problem is that once I shift the trans out of "Park" it only goes into first gear & stays there. Whether the shifter is in "R", "N", "D", "3", "2" or "1", it doesn't matter, the trans only goes into first & never upshifts (or anything else). I can drive it down the road in first, but it never upshifts & if I stop & put the shifter in "R" it still goes forward. Did I hook something up wrong or did I get a bum tranny? I'm about as certain as I can be that everything is hooked up correctly, like the shift cable & hoses. The one thing I've got some concern with is that I had to put a new kick-down cable in it when I got the trans. The old cable was busted when I got it & to install the new one I had to pull the cover off & remove the valve body. I carefully unbolted the valve body & lifted it off & didn't touch anything on it. after the cable replacement I very carefully replaced the valve body. Do I need to reset something in the valve body once I remove it to align something?
