Unplug the big plug on the transmission and test drive, this will put the transmission into limp home mode which will give you 3rd gear starts, if you have this the most likely cause is the shift solenoid A.
I unplugged the trans plug and test drove the car it ran in 3rd gear
so you are saying that then that means the shift solenoid a is no good
Yes ?
is there any other causes ?
I drove the car the box came out of just before I pulled the box out and it was fine then that's all all the gear worked fine shifted good that's all that confuses me

Tech2 which you’d only get on eBay for us amateurs.

You would also be best armed with the factory manual.

(Will be messy ) Undo or loosen one of the oil line then start the car for second or two see if the pump working,
Because there is no reason (other then installation problem/fault) it shouldn't work in yours.

The pump is working because the car is driving so need to do that.
