No 1st Gear, what's wrong?

I recently installed a 3.8L splitport from a wrecked 2000 Mustang into my 94 Tbird. I also installed the transmission from the same 2000 Mustang at the same time. When we were dynotuning the car we found out that it has no 1st gear and the "O/D off" light is flashing in the instrument cluster. I readjusted the transmission shift linkage and also replaced the MLPS sensor on the transmission. Still no first gear. The transmission starts in 2nd when the shifter is in Drive, and will upshift into 3rd (haven't tried overdrive, the car isn't licensed yet). It also starts in 2nd when the shifter is in the 1 or 2 positions, but does not upshift into 3rd (which is the way it should operate). So is there something I could be missing? I'm afraid that something inside the transmission is broken. Does this sound like an EEC problem at all?

Here is a link to my thread about the splitport swap so that you can see what I did
