I just bought a sc with an auto tranny and when it trys to shift into 2nd it trys and then shifts into 3rd gear and then will not try to shift back to 2nd but if i floor it it will jump back to 1st gear and then back to 3rd gear and thoughts?
 
You could try looking at the shift position sensor. It's located on the drivers side of the transmssion. Has 2 small bolts and a single plug in the back. Fairly easy to change. I had to get mine at the local Ford dealer. It was around $80. And it fixed my problems.
 
He has an AOD, not a 4R70W so there is no shift position sensor. No second gear shifting is a not a good sign with an AOD. What color is the fluid, and is the TV cable on the thorttle body and adjusted correctly?
 
Rebuild time. Might be able to buy some time by changing fluid and rebuilding the valve body, but usually when the clutches wear beyond a certain point, shifts will continue to be erratic. Read up on how-to; if you mix up any of the many parts of the VB, you're hosed :(
