Symptoms of an incorrect PR valve assembly install?
I did a search about my intermittent reverse after a transgo install and pretty much came up with incorrectly installed pressure regulator valve assembly. What are some other symptoms? Here is what my car is doing(or not doing):
Intermittent reverse - I had it once or twice
Rolls backward in foward gears
Heavy slipping in all gears
Has a 1-2 shift when the rear is jacked
The fluid is filled to the proper level also. Do all signs point to the PR valve assembly? Seems like every transgo install needs a 2nd pan pull, just making sure I won't need a 3rd.
Thanks for the help.

That was the only problem, found the assembly in the pan. It must not have instantly blown out as I did have reverse once or twice. Of course it all works AFTER I put a drain plug in.

That drain plug makes all the difference in the world, going from an ATF rain forest to having the fluid in a drain pan. . .
