Try adjusting the reverse band. the band adjustments are on the sides of the dynaflow. one is for low and one is for reverse. i forget the sides for which, so someone else chime in if they know.

but i got a set from http://www.wheatbeltbuick.com/
for less.
so give them a whirl. goodluck.

yeah, after i put the headers and new gaskets on my S8, i had to tighten that thing down a few more times after running it. so dont forget to check your bolts down the line.
