I then replaced it with a junkyard Transmission but I put the same new torque converter in and not the junkyard one, did the same never went up second gear. I have already replaced all the outer sensors. Only thing left is the pcm, wiring, transmission cooler , and the torque converter, which sounds like what you were saying!!
Either find/borrow a scanner that can read/override all the transmission controls or have a trans shop do it for you. I would want to see what gear is being commanded, double-check for codes, and try forcing 3rd and 4th gear.
A broken wire in the harness could be your culprit, but it should cause a code.
Connecting both a scanner and a pressure gauge to the trans will nearly always let you diagnose any problem with near certainty.
