No, but describe the symptoms again - you are a bit vague.

When does it rev high and what do you mean it moves a little forward.

If you drive the car slowly from a standstill, the only thing different from stock is that the car will idle at a much slower speed in gear. Weird at first, but you get used to it.

If you drive it normally, it should not rev to a high rpm. It only soars to a high RPM when you nail it.

Let us know.

the rpm rev's high because it seems like the tranny is slipping,( not engaging all the way)...but it engages alittle so it moves the car really slow when it revs high,,,like a car with blown clutch.but moves onle a few yards before not able to move again,,but if i stop and restart after a while it will repeat the process of moveing a little with engine reving high

Sounds like the tranny is going, not the TC
