Trans. problems.

I got my DPtuner chip in before our trip to Ohio and loved it, but I noticed some things going ...well wrong in the shifting. The main thing was 2 to 3rd , it would shift, then down shift back to 2nd and then back to 3rd. This was in 80 econo and WOT. I also got some slipping. I have sent the chip back to Jody for him to look at it, but I think it is all my trans. I have been back to the SuperChips tune for the last two weeks or so and it just does not seem to have the same umph it had before, but I have not thrown any codes.
Will a BTS VB help me any? Or would it be my TC slipping?

Keep an eye on it, and see what happens when you get your chip back.

I was just doing some reading of old post and see one that might apply to my problem, "Transmission Range Sensor". Could this be the cause? Not sure of the cost , but if it is cheap I may change it anyway.

Does anyone have the Ford part number for the Transmission Range Sensor for my truck? Dealer wants $55 for it, but I think I can do better than that.

Could the use of a TC lock up switch cause problems with the Transmission Range Sensor ?

I've used a TC switch for years and mine is still shifting fine, so I wouldn't think so.
