Shift Kit is in, Engine Stalls on Startup

Hey guys, just got the Transgo shift kit into the Iroc...after alot of swearing, throwing, and kicking, it ended up working out, but I have one issue:

This has happened 3 times thus far, and happens about 30% of the time. I will go to start the car, and the engine will crank, and detonate, but it stalls, like the tranny isnt catching it. I can hold the engine at about 3000rpm and it just wont catch and if i let off it stalls. Then, one or two more tries later, it catches...any ideas? Could this be that the band is too loose? I checked for clearance, and it was about 3/16 of an inch of play which was what the video claimed was the maximum you wanted it, while shimming the servo.

sounds to me like a valve body gasket blowing your fluid out everywhere
