transmission shifting issue

Just rebuild my three speed transmission in my 1997 Caravan. It was a real task but went pretty well. The car runs fine but it does not shift into third gear until about 50 mph. That is a bit late. It is probably an adjustment in the control valve assembly as everything else was fine. Any ideas on how to bring the 2-3 shift back down to where it should be. Also, there is a slight shudder in reverse, could this be the band to tight. I torqued and backed off to the specs called for in the rebuild manual. I did drive the van 80 miles today so the transmission is fine, just shifts at the wrong time.
