trans issues after shift kit and 3600 stall converter install
As the title says, now the car has to be at about 4500 rpm in order to shift 1st-2nd
2nd-3rd shifts rapid and it also jumps from 3rd-2nd 2nd-3rd while crusing, and feels like its takeing off in 2nd. As expected the mechanic says its not from his end blames the old transmission which only has 44k miles on its. any recommendations where to look.

This isn't one of those I worked on your vehicle, now the battery died while I was working on it, so I am responsible for the battery dying. If the transmission was working correctly when it came in to me and now its not.... Guess who is responsible. If the transmission was not working right, he might have a case. Has he done this type of installation before??? Call TransGo and see if they can help you out here. 626 443-7451. Talk to Dave if possible.

got the guy to work on the car again, but same results he is saying the 1st gear band is bad and it need to be changed. the truth is am kind of giving up on this build.The car was in perfect working order transmission shifting perfect(only 44k miles) before he worked on it. All that was done is changed the TC to a Yank 3600 and intalled a trans-go shift kit and now i have a car that shifts 1st gear at 4500 rpm or at speeds of 30 mph, and shift from 3-2 and 2-3 at cruzing speeds

There is no "first gear band" so this guy is either blowing smoke or you misunderstood him. The right question was asked above as to whether he is familiar with this type of installation. An installer not only has to know the 4l60e trans, but understand the dynamics of the Transgo kit, your setup, and intended usage to guide the specifics of the installation.
