    You replaced a three knob shower valve with the same thing. Correct? You might have some trash in the diverter seat that's not allowing it to close. Try this.
    Remove the diverter stem and check for trash. Now turn the water back on to flush out the seats. Reassemble and test. Better now? If not click on back with all the details you can give me about the new valve. Good luck. Tom
