Once you have the valve body apart to see the e-clip, look at all of 
them. Move the spool valves and check them all.

Upshift problem can be the governor. The plastic gear sometimes gets 
wiped out. IIRC, a Turbo-hydro 350 or 400 plastic gear is the same.

The PG will go into first and reverse, but that's it. He has checked the modulator connections (slightly loose, but connected) and there is no white smoke. He has been reading about the e-clip problem, but that doesn't sound like what it is. Just in case, he would like to know which clip it is in the shop manual that he has (1965 pg 7-36) and what else to suspect. Apparently the unit started having quirky shifts and then just failed on day on start up. Input will be appreciated.
