Those SAM valves only control pilot oil pressure. The actual shift spool is inside the trans valve and may be stuck with a chunk of debris. I would disassemble the trans valve and make sure the directional spool is not stuck. The directional spool shifts from forward and reverse via the pilot oil pressure sent by the SAM valves. The clutch pack oil pressure is not controlled by the SAM valves.
