Default trans problems

i have a fuddle 3200 stall converter and a transgo shift kit as well as all my fluid being mobil 1 synthetic ATF. its been in there for over 1500 miles with no problems so far. something that happened before i flushed the fluid was that my car would sometimes bang off the limiter when going uphill at WOT from 1st to 2nd. i was told that the car should shift when its suppost to, and if its not then the trans is slipping.

after i got my 3.91s installed, my tuner bumped up my line pressure a little bit to help with the slippage till i can get the trans built. well, i hadnt noticed it bounce off the limiter, but i havent really tried either.

recently, the car seems to be doing a lighter version of what it did before when the fuddle converter was messed up. it seems like its not locking up easily (i was going 50 at over 2300 rpms, when i should be doing 60 at 2K). it also seems like it takes a little more gas to get going from a stop. i also seem to be experiencing PWM on some of my 3-4 shifts.

could this be the trans going out, the converter taking a dump, or could it be the fluid causing this? any help would be appriciated. thanks
