Thanks nice to meet you all, I used the B&M kit, changed the valve body plate and upper and lower gaskets, the 2 separator hold downs with my stock one on top (filed it flat) via instructions, left one check ball in, removed the other 3. perfectly aligned everything, torqued bolts to spec. Made sure everything was good internal clearance wise. Sealed her up. Now later after the cover blew off, I removed the spring, sealed it back up with snap ring, and thought the same thing about the low fluid, added 2 more quarts and it started moving again, but won't up shift without almost flooring it, checked detent cable it was correctly adjusted. I've heard of these kits putting so much pressure on the internals that you have to reach over 2500 rpm just to get it to upshift to second. I'm just mad I did all that hard work and have to take it right back out, think I'll just buy one brand new, don't add a shift kit and call it a day. The basic tci sizzler 350 tranny is around $1100 , almost every trans shop in Indy charges $1200-2000 for a rebuild... Might as well go brand new. Thanks for all the help
