Hey holmes, I think your caps lock is on. 

Is this the tranny you just got or the old one?

1st Pull the shifter and check if the shift seat and shift ball is in good condition.  If these are worn/missing, it can cause bad shifting.

2nd.  Body lift?  Maybe the shifter is hitting the pan.  Remove shifter boot and verify if shifter is hitting metal.

Aaron's shifter seat was destroyed and you know how  well taken care of his truck is. And i'd check that body lift again...i swore you said something about it not shifting all the way when you first put in on...
