No manual 1st gear after 5r55e valvebody swap

Hello dear forum:

I just finished my swap of valve body on my 98 xlt automomatic trans (5R55R).

I get my valve body from central valve body (excellent service!!!). In fact I used the explorer forum discount.

I had the common codes and shift flares. Everything looks good now, BUT when I want to shift manually to 1str gear, it feels too hard from 2nd manual gear to 1st manual gear, I can not reach it.

I guess something I could had put incorrectly. It looks like a mecanical problem.

Any Idea what I did wrong?

thanks

Antonio
