95 Contour trans slipping

Hi, new to this forum and glad to be here. I have a 95' Contour 2.5L. After it warms some it begins to jump in and out of O/D. Then I have to down shift to quiet it down. Sometimes this helps. I'v done a shift kit on the tranny. Installed the SK CD4E-Jr Kit. This is supposed to correct converter slip. So I fire it up and it runs great for about 20 miles and then starts acting up again. Which is how it always acts. Seems like after it warms up it starts to get goofy. So I ordered the EEC-IV code scanner because I have a check engine code locked in. I'm hopng it's the range sensor or the VSS or the TSS. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Is the idle high? Maybe it isnt your trans. Idle air valve could be the prob. Because I think my Ford is having the same problem. I orignally thought it was my trans, but it wasn't
Ive had the throttle cleaned and the valves checked, but it still acts up. I think this high idle thing is hard to fix. Anyone else have any similar troubles? Is there a real fix for it?

No not idling high. engine is running great. I'm positive it's something with the trans. I'll check the check engine codes with the scanner. The last time I had a high idle problem it was a leak on the intake. Also check for vacuum leaks.
