95 E320 1st to 2nd shift point adjustment

Just had reman. trans installed and I am trying to adjust the shift point from 1st to 2nd gear at full throttle. My old trans. would shift around 6200 RPM. Now it shifts at 5000 RPM unless I hold the shifter in 2nd. Also, once I am rolling, it will not downshift from 2nd to 1st no matter what. Not good for those "whoops!!!" situations when I need to get up to speed fast. I tried tightening the throttle pressure cable but this only seems to have an effect on 2nd to 3rd shifts. Currently it goes from 2nd to 3rd at 6400 RPM. I have also noticed that when I place the car in drive, it requires more throttle than with the old trans. to get moving. It scared me at one point when I gave it about half throttle from a dead stop and it felt as though it was slipping a little then fully engaged.

Any thoughts or recommendations are greatly appreciated.
