Need help with transmission solinoid problem

I just replaced the solinoid in my E4OD because the seal was leaking fluid up into the plug and giving me hard shifts since it was out of a 93 figured it wouldn't be a bad idea just to replace it. After replacing it I topped it off with new fluid and now it slams into the gears while driving seems to be worse than before. I cleaned the plugs again disconnected the batteries and still having the hard shifts. Any ideas out there would be appreciated.

I believe the plug pin out is different 93 to 95.

I forgot to mention I took all the running gear and electrical out of my 93 7.3L idi turbo and put it in the 95 crew cab. So all the plugs are the same. I have ran out of ideas

I'm not sure yet I'll have to get a code reader.
