Default help . . . after shift kit install, tranny's gone insane

hey guys. after i put on my shift kit with a PI3200/3.42, the car is totally mushy. it redlines on every shift (hypertech not being used for shift points)and feels like the converter isn't putting out enough pressure, and unlocks at highway speed to about 2000 rpm. any ideas. please please please advise.

Tranny fluid full?

Did you change the converter and install the kit at the same time?

I am having issues with mine as well. Shifted fine for a while. The converter won't lock uo and now it tries to pull at idle in gear and stalls. I wish I would never had installed it. I am looking for a good tranny shop in Pennsylvania to try and fix it.

Sounds like a bad install.. on both of your cars.
