Has the ECU wiring been reconnected? Sounds like it hasn't, or there's a fault with it. Not sure if Techstream gives access to the transmission ECU and data values, but it would be worth looking to check what the ECU thinks is happening.

Hi Jon
Thank you for your response.

Will have a look to the Ecu. Do you think it might be the valve body as well?

It could be a fault in the valve body, or the electric solenoids on the valve body that are controlled by the ECU, but I would start by checking that the ECU is connected and working because that's in charge of telling the valve body what to do with regards to changing between different forward gears.
