    Hi Froggy

    Please provide a few more details, OK?

    Brand name of tub/shower valve

    Model number of tub/shower valve

    What parts got replaced... exactly

    Is the diverter on the tub spout or up in the valve body?

    Are you aware of the temperature limiting device (if present)? If not, look at the manufacturer's website for a spec. sheet detailing all that you should need to know.

    It sounds like an issue with the diverter and or the entire catridge being misaligned.

    Post back with the info. Requested and we'll see what we can tell you...
