w116 300sd downshifts into 1st at 25mph

I had the valve cover off to adjust valves and all linkages, then i did a tranny service and replaced the white vacuum valves on top of valve cover(they had little holes in the paddle) then i played around with the bowden, anyhow im lost now, the car drives and shifts very smooth and powerfully but the downshift back into 1st happens at around 25 even 30mph.
It bothers me because i live in a 25mph area and i do not want the car going rough at 25, its louder plus i feel like it may be hurting the tranny.
Any help
