The Manual shift problem is probably a Cable bind or adjustment problem.
The Auto shift problem sounds like the TV/ThrottleValve Cable is too tight.

Also, if you're running an aftermarket Carb, Holley, Demon or Edelbrock you need a Geometry Corrector Bracket on the Carb's linkage for the TV Cable.

OK I adjusted the TV cable again. 1st & 2nd good 3rd boggs real bad until I go a certain speed but still no passing gear.

Cable may be slightly too loose if no passing gear. TV plunger in Valvebody could also be sticking/binding.
You should use a Pressure Gauge to set it if possible. Also checked while driving/shifting.
