what all did you do to the transmission when you rebuilt it

shift kit, stall. programmer tune to change the firmness of the shifts, etc?

it has a transgo shift kit installed in it and i have a superchips tune on it that firms up the shifts. i had the entire tranny rebuilt. planetary gear, pistons, friction materials, etc.

give it some time to break in man. drive it gentle for like 500 miles, change fluid then see. It will be very tight as all is new and it has to seat properly.
