Installed Transgo--No overdrive

OK I guess I belong to the school of, If its not broke fix it until it is. I just installed a transgo TFOD kit in my 47re it shifts great but no overdrive. At about 45MPH I can feel it go into, what I think is, lock up but the RPMs stay pretty high around 2300 to 2500 @ 60MPH I just checked the fluid level and the electrical connector on the transmission. Both were good. What else could I have screwed up? Maybe the TV cable? I think it was one that I had to disconnect to take the valve body out. Everything was fine before I started this. Any additional thoughts? If some one has a link to a TV cable adjustment that would be very helpfull
