Angry Trans locks up while in manual mode

I just had my trans completely rebuilt.

Never drove the car before it went out not sure if this was a existing problem.

Just took my car on a spin.

And switched from auto to Manual mode,

And the damn car locked up,

tried to take off when i get to 3k rpm's the wheels lock up!!

WTF!!!

The auto side drives pretty good shifts ruff every once in a while but for most part is very smooth but now i can't use manual at all?

Any ideas?

go to a mazda dealer and have them make sure the AT firmware is up to date. i remember there might have been an update that dealt with an issue when shifting manually
