I would just take to who ever rebuilt it and have them check it out. It sounds like it could be your tach sensor that is mounted on the injector pumps timing cover.

Your tach is causing the trans to go into Limp Mode a safety feature so the trans does not destroy itself. Check the wires just where they exit the sensor, quite often they will have the plastic shielding pulled back and touch each other due to fan air flow. Check the connector at the sensor harness and the engine harness connector at the drivers fender.
