The torque converter should not be locking until you are going about 40-45mph in third gear.
If it feels like it goes to neutral when it should be shifting to third then that trans is coming back out. It can be a valve body issue, mechanical or electrical, the apply piston could have been assembled incorrectly, its sealing rings could have been damaged upon rebuilding. Too many possibilities to try to guess at.
