So you DID have it on POWER? If you did, I will almost bet my car that it will work when you put it on NORMAL! :) Just find an open stretch of road long enough for you to go through 1st gear and the start of 2nd, just make sure you switch it back over to POWER once you've gotten into 2nd gear so that your other RPMs will go all the way through the RPMs. :)

will do, but i have to more careful than most i have a speedracing ticket from a few weeks ago. may just have to find out at the track.

Did you readjust you line pressure?

how well did that work? I dont remember if you have one or not but seriously dude get a decent sized oil cooler for your tranny. It generates an incredible amount of heat and i need to relocate mine because i didnt realize how hot the oil cooler could get, it bassicaly blows hot air into my IC now.

drop me a pm next time you head up to PIR i'd like to meet up and do some runs myself now that i put an end to my fuel cut issue.

you still on 8psi?

I mounted my Transmission Cooler in place of where my Driverside Foglight would normally sit. Putting it in place has DEFINATELY saved my ass.
If any of you Auto guys have not gotten a cooler yet, DO IT.
You can find them for pretty cheap and it's a simple mod that will help out the life of your transmission. After all, statistics say that 90% of transmission failures are a result of overheating.

...DOODA DAMNED THANG! ;)

so did trign what i siad help any out there?

it should be an easy fix for them, and realisticly they should be able to fix it with the tranny in the car, drop the tranny pan, and adjust the first gear accuminlator or remove some shimms, or what every they did..

but do what ever it taks not to pay any more money! it was there mistake, make them eat it. im sure it wouldn't be a problem if you redlined at 8k.. but at 6.5k it's a problem..

any ways i would have loved to race yeah, or atleast let yeah ride in my car, but since ive been losing coolent, it's not worth pushing her.

hope this problem gets fixed, i see a 14 second flat run in your near future!
