My monster box is taking a dump!!!!!!

Here is the deal. I got my built engine put in after 2 months of the truck being down. All was going good for about 2 weeks and one night I got down on it pretty hard. When it shifted into second gear it hit real hard and then the tranny slipped a little like it missed a gear. What little I have drove it, I can tell that the shifts don't feel quite right and when it down shifts from 2nd to 1st it slips and bangs into 1st. The up-shift seem to be good except the actual shift seems a little sloppy compared to the way it was (quick and smooth). On top of that I can hear a whining sound when I am slowing down and at a slow cruse. I have pretty loud exhaust so I am not sure if its there at higher speeds.
I tried to get ahold of Gregg but nothing yet. I have had the trans for a year and 4 months.....

well, I'd keep trying to reach Gregg for an answer. he seems to take care of everybody as soon as he's made aware of any problems

Its not the rear end. I know what that sounds like and thats not it (but good suggestion). I can hear the whine and it gets worse as it slips back into first gear with a bang. I am not sure but it might be the pump or I am losing 2nd gear. Its just weird that the up shift don't seem to be slipping they just seem to be kinda sloppy...

I sent emails, made post, and PM'd him starting about a week ago. I know that he does not get online as much as some.

I just hope it all works out. I am really tired of my truck sitting in the damn driveway........

thanx DixieL
