Default automatic trans trouble

I have a 97 vette. brought about a year ago and the trans started slipping (no 3rd or 4th gear), car had 120,000 miles on it and trans fluid was burnt so we installed a rebuilt trans and torque converter from jasper engines and trans. Trans seemed ok, it just felt a little sluggish on take off. then it started slipping in 3rd again, now it only has reverse. Jasper is going to send another trans, but is there any thing i should do to the trans b 4 i install it? Car has zo6 intake and mass airflow, corsa exhaust and 295 35 19 tires in the rear. Only one code p1571 traction control torque request circuit. I have a tech2 scanner but do not know how to adjust or reprogram the cars computer. HELP PLEASE do not want to put 2nd trans in and have same problem.

Here's a bump for you....

Never heard of Jasper

You might want to have a local tuner LS1 edit your PCM to make sure you don't have any slipage problems and that your shifts are correct!

I agree. Have a tuner set your pressure and shift time. Slippage will eat a tranny up.
