Default slipping after putting on 315's

i just got my tranny rebuilt about a month ago and added a Trans-go shift kit. i just put my new black ZR1 wheels with 315's on the back on last tuesday and installed my adjustable panhard rod last friday. well that friday night my tranny started slipping in 3rd and 4th gear all of a sudden. i stopped for a minute and checked the fluid and everything seemed alright, so i pulled back out and it didnt slip, then about a mile up the road it started slipping again. now it slips about half the time, you can take off from a light and it will slip then from the next light it wont. well today i put my stock 245's back on and now it dont slip. has anyone else experienced this? did the different size tires screw something up? what is wrong with my tranny?
thanks guys

did you change your tune for the tire size change? Maybe it is throwing the shift tables off and you got some lockup stuff overlapping shift points

no i didnt change the tune for the tire size, but i just went and drove it again with the stock size tires and it started slipping again, so idk what it is now, maybe the panhard rod throwing something out of line, im not very knowledgeable on automatic trannys, any suggestions?
thanks,
Kris

I would say that something went awry with the transgo install. Panhard wouldn't have anything to do with the tranny. Either that or get a tranny tune, could be line pressure. Does your fluid smell burnt, brownish color?
