Question slipage after servos

HI my name is michael, and im not new to the site just never posted.
I just installed another corvette servo, and the sonnax super hold 4th servo.
Now the first problem was is the gold washer for the sonnax servo ended up not being installed the first go around causing it not to shift into 4th, and after looking through posts on here i found out the no washer no shift prob.
So after fixing that, and getting it back together again i went for a cruise in it and the 1-2 shift seemed to take longer to shift and then the 2-3 was softer but the 3-4 was firm and quick.? when heading back to the shop the 1-2 got worse, then started slipping going into 3rd. Do yall have an idea to my problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated Thank yall!!!!

I would stop driving it before you do any more damage then whats already done. Take the servos back out and double check everthing to make sure it's installed right and you didn't cut a seal or oring.

if it's only 6 blocks, I would drive it in manual 1st gear and drive slow so it doesn't automaticly shift into second. This will keep you from burning the band up. If it isn't already

ya it was installed back just like i was when i left the gold washer out that goes before the 4th gear servo? they took that servo out put the washer put a new seal on the servo then reinstalled. the first three gears drove fine just no 4th gear the first go around, then after the installation of the gold washer that was left out during the drive after that i noticed the 1-2 took a little longer than before then the rest was fine. ( i only went through the gears to 4th then stayed at a constant speed in 4th) got to a stop sign and took off to go through the gears again and thats when the 1-2 was worst and the 2-3 slipped a bit but the 3-4 was firm and quick. so all in all it only slipped 3 times till i parked it. would that be enough to burn up the band or clutch? its a pretty new tranny.
