Default shift kit problem

I have a 700r4 that i installed a shift kit in. i get everything back together and go for a drive and it only has first and third gear. I'm not sure if a check ball is in the wrong place or what it could be? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

do you have reverse?
if not the tranny needs to come out and the reverse reaction sun shell replaced.

#17. 4L60E heavy duty reaction shell (1998 up new style). Cost $39.00
Qty 12345


√ #17X. 4L60E Extreme Duty "The Beast" reaction shell. Redesigned sun gear shell for the 700R4 / 4L60E transmissions by strengthening and reinforcing the neck collar spline area using thicker material. Known for loosing reverse, 2nd and 4th gears the 700R4 sun gear shell has a very high fatigue failure rate. This is the shell you want to install in a 700R4 or 4L60E that's behind a 300 plus horse power motor. This part holds in 2nd, 4th and reverse. (Not one broken in 2 years.) Cost $56.00

If it's a check ball problem, I think you would have to have 2 of them in wrong. Did you get the one that goes on before the seperator plate?
