Arrow New Transmission 722.3 and Adjustments Required

I had my transmission rebuilt and I do however feel that it could use some tweaking or adjustments. I feel like the transmission at slow speeds shifts ever so smoothly, but when I'm driving under heavier throttle, it seems to drop into the next gear abruptly. Mind you I barely drove the car since I got it back to do a proper testing. I called the rebuilder and he speaks Engish, but his German is much better. I wrote down what he said to do and here is what he said to do in his words:

* Check the transmission fluid to make sure it is at the rght level
* Diconnect the cable off of the ball joint and drive without it for a while
* Check vacuum to the transmission if it gets it from intake
* Line could be brittle
* Check if electric is OK
* Kickdown switch could be stuck under the pedal
* Cable could be too short
* When you hook the cable back to the ball joint it should be tension free and should snap in like silk
* Cable should come out about 1 inch


Anyone have any experience with this or understand how the above instructions apply?
