PG whine and hard shift into D

So I got the 140/PG running in the car today. I ran it several times on the ground, don’t remember the PG whining. Shifted it today through all gears. Initially it hard shifted into all gears. Now R seems to engage smooth, and D to L seems smooth, but still a hard slam in D from Neutral.
The whine goes away in gear also.
This a common problem? Haven’t driven car yet to see how it upshifts.

At what engine rpm are you going from N to D?

Sub 1000. If I had to guess, ~800-850.
Haven’t dialed it in completely.
I run my Rampside at about 625. I think this will need to be a little higher - haven’t looked it up yet.

Gerg, Did you rebuild the trans? It shouldn't slam into gear no mater how fast the idle is but a common cause is a broken accumulator spring under the band piston . Not sure about the whine unless the fluid is real low or something is wrong with the pump .

Dan - do you mean the large return spring under the low servo piston?

I did not rebuild this PG. Has been in my shop for about 8 years. Previous owner (trusted friend) said it drove fine when I got the car from him.
Fluid is full.
Is a true 140 PG - all markings are present. Pump cover, valve body, governor body & gear.

Which PG fluid did you use?
Probably just needs some road miles on it... After sitting so long...

The Dexron from Napa.
Same stuff we put in Steve's '62.
That is what I am thinking. I distinctly remember it slamming into reverse a few times the first day I shifted it. From D to L also.
Does neither of those now. Whine 'may' be a little quieter now too.
