No codes? Should have P0756. the 2-3 solenoid.
If you changed all of them probably a wire.

If first and second gear aren’t working, it’s wire connection

P0700 is a communication error
P0973 is the 1-2 shift solenoid as described here

p0700 just means the TCM has requested the CEL to light.
My guess is that you never needed any tranny work, just a bad connector.
