Replaced Head recently and upon completion transmission slipped and sometimes refused to shift, Flushed and replaced sensors and improved some but still wont always shift smoothly. will shift at very high rpms then downshifts if you stop accelerating. very frustrating! Its been suggested a vacuum issue but my mechanic says he has checked that out

i would have a shop with a scan tool to check the trans system for codes. it may be electrical but i doubt it. i think it has failed internally
