I'm with everyone who says re-do it.
Don't mess around with proper install and checking on a transmission, take the time to go back and make SURE it's right.
When I did my shift kit I had to re-do it because the truck was shifting real goofy, took it apart and found I had put the wrong spring combo in the valve body, wreaked havoc.

There is a possibility that your tranny was getting older and weaker. If there was torque management there previously, you wouldn't have noticed it. When you removed the TM the truck made more power at the shift points making the slip noticeable. I am not sure about this in your case, but this is an area to be considering. Did you have the tune done right before the slipping shifts?

no, i had the tune for probably a month or two before putting in the servo and it never slipped once, it was right after the servo went in that it started slipping. i dont think the trans should be going bad already tho, its only got 64000 miles on it and the person that had it before me was a 70 year old man who owned it new, had 55000 when i got it and i dont drive it hard...often

I chucked my stock trans at 59k...but I had 0 torque management for almost 30k, and I have a tendency to drive hard. I was cruising down the highway just "minding my own business" when it puked on me though.
Have you pulled the servo back out and taken a look yet? I wouldn't keep driving it if it's slipping as you will cause more damage to the trans and the frictions in particular. It would suck to smoke a gear or two because of a silly pinched o-ring or something like that...
