Default Trans....????

I just rebuilt the transmission and i dont know what to do, i put it in with a new convertor and all the internals are new but the pump, valve body and the servo. Everything works but when i get into it it wont shift from 2 to 3 and in second when it gets up to about 5200 it just lays over like the trans is slipping??? IDK what it is and it is really pissing me off it has a shift kit in it and a corvette servo, and a 2400 b and m Convertor, kevlar band, and red eagle clutchs. What could be wrong?? PLZ help

might just be a coincidence, buy a can of mass airflow cleaner and clean that thing up.

start with the easy stuff. Did you tear your valve body apart? did you clean all the valves real well?? you might have a valve thats not seating and letting pressure bleed through.

Personally, I would've replaced the servo too, but that's me. If you didn't clean up the valve body good, then it could easily be sticking, and may even be the reason your trans went out (assuming that's why you rebuilt it). If you're worried about pulling it all apart and what not, I'm sure if you pulled it and called a local trans shop (that you trust) they'd clean it all out and put it back together correctly for a small fee. Seeing as it's a common trans and all.
