4r100 trouble

I just rebuild my 4r100 alto powerpacks and transgo tugger shift kit.
Did ewerything after the book and worked fine,oil is clean etc.
But some how its sudenly got som issues after pulling tranny back again too change flexplate.
Slow too engage reverse,must give a litle throhle,then strong in reverse no slipage,but makes a whining hydraulic noise(like safety valve blow sound)
when first in R it uses some time too relase again.can also hawe same symptoms when auto downshift from 3rd too 2cond.
These isues come and goes,sometimes works perfect sometimes like my descreption.
For me it apears like valve sticking ore electrical,but im no expert on 4r100 trans ,but im 100% the internal tranny is put together right.senter suports used loctite and moment etc,
from a dead start and full acceleration al gears hold strong.
Im living countryside in Norway so werry few specialist workshops in these country and theyr far away(4.500.000 citizen in Norway)
Im thankfully for tips too check out.
Best regards Kjetil Sollid

Check the plug on the passenger side. Causes all sorts of issues if it's dirty or loose.

These symptoms are gone when pulls the conector too nthe solenoid pack.
I think something is wrong inside the reverse clutch.

When you unplug the connector the pressure control solenoid goes to maximum pressure. All that additional pressure is why the problem doesn't happen with the connector removed. It isn't an electrical problem.

What codes did you get?

The shift solenoids are not used to engage or release reverse.
