If you're in the 13's you are at the limit of a stock transmission. Just because these guys "built" your transmission doean't mean they BUILT it. You need an upgraded shell, better bands, higher pressure and more cooling to keep one of these going and if you pull all the TM even on a stock truck a truely built transmission won't hold up forever. I'd ask what all components they're putting in there and compare that to an FLT or Raptor and see how it compares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmaxman Posted May 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 well it has a beast sunshell, high energy bands and clutches, sonnax super hold 2nd and 4th gear servos, transgo shift kit, billet input shaft, and tcs 2800 stall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss454327 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 You know that super servo could be the culprit. I posted some links to someone a while back that smoked their clutch packs and several people had that happen with that servo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ss454327 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 im starting to think that it maybe in the tune i am going to either get a wheatley tune or get your guy to tune it I'm actually talking to him on the phone now. He said give him a call...PM me and I'll get you his number. I'd definately go with him because he can street tune you. He can data log your runs and tune it perfectle with the AFR. He also doesn't re-charge you to tune it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
