Default trans acting up after installing shift kit-HELP?

I have a 4l60e with a trans cooler and the corvette servo. i recently ordered a sonnax performance pak and instakked it except for the boost valve and the pressure limiter. After some mess ups and fixing including a broken TCC solenoid and a spring, I have some issues.
The symptoms:
-1,2,3 work good, drive is a tiny bit sluggish at low Rpm.
-in reverse the truck will shake but act like its in park.
-in nuetral on a hill it will roll back like normal but on a flat surface it will creep forward like drive normally does
-park seems like it works fine

honestly stumped. i checked the linkage and i think its good but im not sure, im not a transmission guy.
can anyone point me in the right direction on what could be causing this?

The only code it threw was the TCC solenoid missing, and i replaced it and no more codes were thrown. It's at a transmission shop right now, but I'll post what the problem was once I get it back for anyone who has this problem again.

well, bad luck guys. what all these symptoms mean is the forward clutches are fused together, requiring a complete transmission rebuild so im quoted 1550 to rebuild it. im gonna have it rebuilt with the sonnax kit re-installed, and upgraded 3-4 clutches for a future cam. gonna have to send my cam back to help pay for it too...so no cam yet, just a new transmission and no new parts for a while.

Probably. Wierd though, only 60k miles on the trans. The only thing i did was a servo swap and a trans cooler. I drove it maybe 40 seconds in total after, so that's what i think did it in. Unexpected huge expense though, right before school starts too. I'm getting it rebuilt with an upgraded 3-4 clutch pack as well as making sure the sonnax kit is done correctly. So should be enough to handle a cam in the future.

A Texas speed stage 3 216/220 with ls6 springs. Sounds perfect and fro what I researched it can handle a canned tunr until I get a custom one.
