All caps is yelling. Not sure why you think it isnt.
If there weren't issues on install I still have doubts that the pilot is too tight. If it is, it's a conclusiom to reach by order of elimination to get to that conclusion. Not assume it's all bad and pull the Trans to check.
This was my point that it needed to be done. Yet, None of the three points you had in all caps re iterated to check that it is releasing or not. Troubleshoot it first.
