Default A4 2-3 shift problem

I got my transmission all buttoned up and installed back in the car. The new stall is great. All the gears work and hold good. 1-2 shift and 3-4 shift are nice and firm. However the 2-3 shift is sluggish under more than about half throttle, and under full throttle it wont hold when it shifts. If you let it grab after it shifts, you can run full throttle all the way up and shift into 4th.

So my question is what do I need to be looking at that would cause a slow grab on the 3 gear clutches?

The tranny shifted great until 2nd gear went out and I had to rebuild it. So the only thing Ive changed is the tranny.
