The car has been driven very little...maybe 400 miles since the kit was installed.
Got new "stock VB" and installed on car...the throttle would not respond at all. Removed and put "new" stock solenoids only back on the original VB and reinstalled...same problem...not throttle response. The car "electronics" do no like or are not compatable with the newer "stock" vb solenoids.
By the way on in manual shift from say 3rd to 4th under acceleration there is some "hesitation".
I may have already been scre......d, thanks again.

Why outlaw? - lol - no worries man. But there is no need to beat around the bush anymore. I'm sure Sharif will take care of you. The worst case scenario is swap in a new transmission as I suspect some part may have been damaged during the VB swap or during the TT install. Really sounds electrical and it sounds like it's OUTSIDE of the VB (i.e. transmission, TCM, or ECU or cabling).
Stuff happens that's sometimes hard to figure out - just a process of elimination to find the cause... If Sharif cannot fix it, I'm sure he'll get a new tranny put in. I doubt he'd like to take the hit on the cost if he can fix it rather than replace it, but that's supposed to be the benefit of taking it to a reputable shop, right?
