Default Anyone ever rebuild an FMX trans? I got problems after my rebuild.

This was my first rebuild. The car barely dragged itself onto the ramp at the shop where I did the build. Every clutch was nothing but metal. Now I'm putting power to the ground but only in 1st and 2nd (rev & P are good). I think the bands are adjusted correctly. Front band had 1/4" space, torqued to 10 inch lbs, and screwd in 3/4 turn. Rear band was torqued to 10ft/lbs and backed out 1 1/2. I could be off considering I don't have a clicking tq wrench. The valve body was in bad shape. Seemed like every valve was sticky. I'm leaning towards valves still sticking. I am using a new modulator that came with kit. I had a 2-3 shift before the build. Same converter as well.
It's also not dropping down to 1st at a stop. It will drop if you hammer on it enough to engage the kick down.
Thanks for info. My Galaxie friends just want to see me get a c-6 and scrap the old FMX that someone threw in here. Yup it's bolted to an FE block.
