Default No Shift 1985 automatic

1985, Z51, automatic transmission
I was getting a very poor idle, and it would change from day to day either speeding up, or slowing to a stall at idle. I deceided to change the IAC and the only way to get it was to remove the throttle body. Well one thing led to another, so I cleaned everything and in so doing I removed the TPS. After putting it all back together and going for a test ride, it wont shift. It's in 1st gear and will not upshift. I'm lost. Anyone have any suggestions or feedback?

Did you reset the TV cable cable that controls the trans after replacing TB ?
Did you reset TPS and IAC valve ( not related to trans )

I "reinstalled" the IAC valve (checked the pintle spacing), the TPS, and the TV cable. Did not "reset" anything as I didn't know there was anything that needed resetting and I wouldn't know what to do. Any guidance would be appreciated.
