Hook a scanner on it and see what codes you get for the tranny, Also, there is a ground wire that bolts up to the back of the pass. side head, this is the main ground for the transmission and if it's not hooked up, the tranny will act crazy.

well all it turned out to be was the top wire on the tranny wasn't connected all the way in. drove it about 30-40 miles and everything seems to be perfect.
how long do you think I need to go to before I can put my box back on or do you think it will be ok now.
