09 Charger 3.5L won't shift from 1st

So my daughter's car all of a sudden stopped shifting out of 1st gear. Starts fine, runs fine, just will not shift.
I can give it all the gas that I want, and RPMs rise accordingly, just will not shift.
No codes.
If it matters, I recently replaced the EGR valve, in which I removed the plenum, as well as the throttle body. Did that about a week ago, and it has ran fine, until.

Please help!!!

Do you have a scanner with the ability to check for codes in multiple modules? Transmission might have a code that's not throwing the CEL. If you don't have one, the AlfaOBD app lets you check each module separately for codes, it costs $50 and you need to buy a Bluetooth adapter, but well worth it!

You might try disconnecting the battery and tying the battery leads together for 30 minutes or so to reset everything completely.

not sure if 3.5's get limp mode, but my 09 RT did that when i changed a few things way back.

It doesn't exactly sound like he's having transmission issues or limp mode, but since he mentions taking off the intake: the only thing I can think of is that he did not properly seat the EGR tube into the back of the intake. Which is an issue I actually had one time like this.

Ok. Reset all the codes, and now have one!
P0750 - Shift Solenoid A

Its in the pan, so i'll swap it out this evening, with new fluid.

Really noob question, sorry:
What is the difference between 1st gear in "D" and putting the car in "L" or "3" ?

Reason I ask is when I put the car is "D", it shifts and feels like I have put it in one of the lower gears.
