Default Tranny She is a no-good!

Hi all....
Well Just a nother dope, I have a 2003 GT, Played with it for a while (MBC-Home made air pipe, ect) then when for the upgrade..Stage One, well like I knew from what I had seen on the site, it was pulling hard, boost stayed higher with less spiking. Nice Ride, maybe not as fast with the MBC- but ran better!!! I had a friend help me put it in, he own a auto-shop. He hooked up my car to his computer and ran some tests before install of Stage One Kit. The Tranny ran a code - Bad Pump, this was dismissed due to the fact I told him that, it was low and I had just topped off the tranny. So we (more-he) installed the kit in just a few minutes. After install and adjustment of antifreeze- He ran the car with the computer and "adjusted" as he thought needed. We went for a Test ride and the car ran like the devil!!!! Well at this point I say....What about the Quick-Learn that the Tranny needs as stated in install sheet. He laughs and says I did that already with the computer...No need!!
....Well here I am maybe 2 months later...Car is at the dealer with a bad Tranny!!! I never really wanted a auto- but the car was a deal.. He came by after I told him what had happened, and he hooked up his computer (in my diveway-the car was slipping like Crazy).. It said Bad pump. Bad 1 - 2 - 3- gears (slipping) conveter was making "the marble in the blender sound" I am hopeing that the dealer will replace the tranny and not rebuild it.. I have to wait for them to tell me their findings!!
any help out there would be GREAT.....Thanks!!
Scott
