Simple fix ... Put two cans of whale oil in and call me in the morning ...

My 57 Fordomatic has had those same symptoms from time to time. I have used Sea Foam Trans Tune (comes in a 16 oz bottle) with very good results (instructions on the bottle state that it helps free up sticking control valve spools). I would give it about 8 oz for a trial and dump in the remainder if no improvement.

Good Luck,
Dave

What he says ...

Is it just a delayed 2nd gear shift or does it fall out of gear?

Do you know exactly what the trans came out of (TAG ID NO) and how long it sat? Is your linkage(s) adjusted correctly (no modulator valve)?

How gnarly was the drained fluid? Band adjustments?

I had the same problem with a Powerglide ... no matter how hard I tried, I could NOT get that thing to shift into 3rd.
