Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Choco is away overseas as far as I know. He is not active in the forum. He is, again afaik, "involved" in the Hudson build.
I can ask him if he is interested. He would most likely direct you to his Hotrod Hand books stuff.
Try the Ford forums. Just like (us) Commodore forum guys, they are into swaps and what works with what. I have some contact there too, I can ask. But Google can be handy here too.
But to your issue, it should be possible to reproduce the problem without driving (car securely on stands etc). On a light throttle it should change up very early in the speed range. Monitor the speed pulses out of the sensor then into the appropriate pin into the trans controller.
Do you get any error codes? If the speed pulses are missing, I would expect some errors.

Yeah. I've changed my signature. The old one was out of date...

Re: 1937 ford pickup build
A 30 cent resistor fixed my problem. Jamie from Shift kits Australia was extremely helpful and told me I needed a pull up resistor on my speed sensor to get it to work properly. The resistor is an ordinary old 1K resistor fitted between the sensor input voltage wire and the output speedo wire to create a square wave signal that the controller can read.
46 deluxe was right there is something hidden in the speedo to correct the signal but the resistor replaces that
