When my trans started doing that. It was the beginning of the end. Sorry give you the bad news. Mine lasted about 2 months before it finally died. I eventually had to r/l it in all the gears. After a month of that it just dropped OD and 3rd. Time for a rebuild.

May be a tranny tuning problem, like the mechanical shift speed adjustment set higher than the engine's rev limiter.
Also fairly likely is is just a bad build as there are FAR more guys other there that will screw this tranny up than can get it right. It is more about the guy putting it together than the parts used, many think all they have to do is buy fancy parts and slap them together without checking clearances and such and it goes BADLY.
