Default Tranny still doesn't feel right.

I rebuilt my transmission agin but this tme i did it by the book. it works fine at light and medium throtle but at wot it doesn't like to shift and its shifts arent distinct. it feels like its still slipping.
could it be the valve body is messed up and i need a new one. or is there some trick to making it work right.

Any help would be great at this point, its kinda kickin my *** right now. thank you for any responses.

loosen the 13/16 jam nut on the driverside of the tranny. tighten the 10mm band bolt untill you feel it bottom out on the trum, it will get tight. back it off 3/4 of a turn and the m tighten the jam nut. what size apply lever did you put in the tranny? when you shift slow does it feel like it gets stuck inbetween gears and eventually powers through it? you VB could be screwwy i had an issue with my RH no 3 or OD and a weak 2nd it was the VB. i would try the jam nut first. it will slip if that isnt set right. what kind a VB and TC are in it. why did you have to rebuild it again?

i got it figured out it think. line presure was wrong i turned it up and its still to low. i put a big nut under the accumulator to make it shift a little harder and adjusted the front band a little tighter. i had to rebuilt it agin because i put a roller in the front sprag in on the wrong side of the spring. i got it right this time.
