Not familiar with the monster kit but have you done the obvious and park it idling at running temp on even ground in neutral and checked tranny fluid? Do you still have the old check ball valve trans lines or whatever they are called? Is it throwing any codes?
I did the obvious. Check valve is deleted. No codes.
Really wondering if your issue is valvebody related. Sticking valves. With new tq converter and clutches and bands is all that's left and would explain why you still have 2nd but it's fucky.
You already know what's up thanks to the facebook.
With it being a new tranny, have you changed the fluid yet? How many miles are on the tranny now? When I was looking at getting a monster, it said to use thier fluid to break in

Fluid is Amsoil, transmission has 300 miles on it. Monster recommended any synthetic oil, which is what I have in it.
Now...onto results. Talked to my boss, he approved having my co-worker tear into it to find out what's going on shop time since we're waiting on parts for a diff rebuild he's working on and has nothing to do. He called around noon with the ******* awesome news. Bands are fine. Everything looks great...except one thing. The fluid is burnt to ****. He's thinking it's a clutch pack that fried.
I called Monster, and they're willing to send out the replacement parts, but it will require a tear down of the transmission to figure out what exactly it needs. So they're covering the parts no questions asked. So I called the transmission shop who rebuilt it, and he's telling me because it was a brought in item (not something he sells or deals with) he will not provide any warranty on work performed. So I'm going to have to pay for labor all over again. ********.
On top of that, Monster is 3-4 days out, and it's mid day Friday, which means the shop doesn't have the time to yank the trans out, check what's wrong, and inform me of what parts it actually needs before parts could ship today.
Which means, obviously, it's a Monday thing. Probably Tuesday before the parts will ship, which would mean HOPEFULLY Friday before the parts arrive, if not the following Monday, then Tuesday/Wednesday before I have the truck back. So we're talking minimum of 11 days, potentially 2 weeks before I have this ******* issue fixed. On top of that, I'M BEING CHARGED MORE MONEY TO DO THIS AGAIN!
So I talked to my boss, as he's the one who has a relationship with the shop that did the work. He's going to talk to him to see if we can either get ALL labor covered and see where we sit.
If he doesn't cover this and take care of me, I'm going to just order in a full transmission from Monster and do the work myself, lawyer up and get my money back out of the shop for both labor and the cost of the rebuild kit since he ****** it up.
