Default Desperate to adjust throttle linkage

So I just recently had my trans go nutty on me and took it in for the first time a month ago. I just got it back for the second time since then. I got a hook up from a dealer tech who had to replace the governor speed sensor, torque converter, and a few other things he said routinely die. I had to take it back because the throttle linkage or something like that was loose causing the tranny to go into limp mode every so often and shift differently than when I first got the truck. The guy said that it was because the 47re had a performance valvebody. Now this is the first major repair since I bought the truck a year ago. Driving home today I realized pulling out the lot that it was shifting different. When I first got the truck it shifted firmly at 5, 10, 27, and 45 mph. Now it's not nearly as firm and shifts at 10, firmly at 25, and loose again at 32 mph. I don't want to take it back a third time because that might be the charm to kill my truck and make me broke, plus I'm questioning his abilities now. Goes to show that you get what you pay for right? I want to know if there's a way I can adjust the linkage or whatever without very much experience in transmission repair at all, or should I just go find some one reputable? I'm desperate and me wallet's running shallow. I'd appreciate any advice.

I am having a tough time understanding the exact issue you are having.

What year truck? Has the trans been rebuilt or did the dealer talk you into throwing parts at a failing trans? Do you have second gear starts? How many miles on this trans?

Give some specifics of this trans, break up the post so it's easier to figure out what is going on.

It's tough to diagnose over the internet. It's impossible without clear and concise information!
