46RE ticks in all gears except reverse

The more I mess with this, the more I remember. This was at least 2 years ago, my memory fails...The truck was REALLY sluggish when I first put the trans in. More than I'd ever experienced, almost didn't want to leave the shop. Plenty of fluid in it. I think it got better, but still not right. I think. Spitballing, I changed valve bodies, seemed the easiest thing to do at the time. The one installed originally I put a TFOD-jr kit in, so in case I hadn't gotten it just right I shoved in a spare stock one in that I had cleaned up and inspected to the best of my abilities (no promises). I don't recall this noise from the beginning, but it might have been there.
