New Transmission Questions

OK! How's everyone doing?
Today I picked up my 1991 300E from the transmission shop after having the trany remanufactered (every movable part was replaced). I lost reverse about a month ago which from everything I learned from the forum is a predictable problem for a car with 200K miles on it.
Driving home from the shop, I noticed that the car would shift into the next gear (first to second, second to third, etc.) at about 3000 RPM. Is this a little high? I would shift at a lower RPM if I ease off the gas pedal. The shifts in all gears are smooth but occur at this high RPM.
I'm bringing the car back on Monday. It's got a 2 year 24K mile warrenty on the work. What should I be asking them or looking for?

Thanks,
Nick
