Default Oil Pressure Question

I just got my car back from a Tranny rebuild. just noticed that the oil pressure is low. at cruising speed it hits about 20 psi and doesnt rise as the rpms go up (it did before I dropped it off). At idle warm in neutral it is at about 10 psi and then when it goes into drive and I start driving it increases to 20 and thats it. is this my oil sending unit or what?

You might want to see if they busted the oil sending unit on the back of the manifold.

oil sending unit is what it sounds like to me. It's easy enough to check.

LOL!!! I broke my sending unit a few weeks ago when I pulled my tranny to install my converter. Sounds like the problem to me.
