Default on my 2nd 4l80 and having the same issues as the first

I have a 2000 TA and i did a t56 to 4l80 swap with a yank converter. when on the hiway approaching 70mph my tranny unlocks and then acts like its in neutral and searching for a gear. this happens at the 2500-2800 rpm mark. im using both vss sensors with efi live cos5.

car has:
yank ss 3600
410
cammed ls1

being the second tranny and still having issues in curious as to if its in the tune and what perimeters i need to look at and maybe a sensor as well. the car shifts through all the gears and locks up as well. this is the only issue i get but i dont get any codes.

any help would be appreicatied!!

Sounds like its returning to 2nd or 1st. Are you sure you are running a 4L80 segment?
Command each gear as you accelerate and see if it works.

well we discovered the seg swap corrupted upon install and thats what did the first tranny in(plus it had a million miles). Got a good solid tune and a fresh tranny in it and its amazing. gotta get a few things with the shift points fine tuned and this thing should be good to go!!!

A ha....mine's doing something similar to that. Sometimes too, it seems when I shift it out of park it has no gears. Put it back in park (sometimes it takes a couple of times), and then shift down and it has gears all of a sudden. Strange. We just put this thing in, still working out the bugs on it

I grabbed the 60e-80e harness which requires no segment. Controls the 80e with the 60e segment. Plugs and plays.
