85 300DT Rebuilt Trans shifts early & Hard?? Why?

Hi guys.. fist off I did a search and as is usually the case my problem is unique in that My trans was a new reman just a few months ago by a reputable indy mechanic and the trans ran fine until the center bearing took flight. Replaced the center bearing and now the trans shifts early .. both 1st and 2nd happen very fast and under 1000-1200 rpms and shift hard.
I bought this car and brought it to Utah so I have no access back to the original installer to get his opinion.
Thought I'd ask here what to do .. I tried adjusting the bowden cable both ways with no improvement..

so which one would you go after ?

new bowden cable?
new modulator?
Chase vac problems?


Specs
85 300DT
New reman trans

thanks

Bennett

Have you checked all the vacuum connections? It's easy enough to knock or snap some line off and not even know it...been there and still do that.
