That's cause tap shift increases line pressure nothing to do with filtering

so what would you conclude from this mr parkave?

shift kit time.

yeah, I want to install the cooler a filter, and a kit. just got a lot on my mind and been pushing the car to the side. except for washing it. That stuff gotta get done a couple times a week.

its car wash day for me today, it rained last night and the car got dusty before that, and no rain for days in the forecast. i feel safe putting the time in to washing it this time.

i really need to clean the inside, vac, dash and windows.

Just keep up with the maintnence is all you can do. You're pretty much at the end of the life cycle

yeah I thought the cycle would of ended sooner. Guess maintenance has been done correctly though via records. I'm just weirded out by trans flush around 80k

Doubt flush it just pan drop and filter change

im not going to, previous owner did. it was in the paperwork

Doesn't mean anything except that they were trying to do right by teh car.

oh I know, they were doing what they thought was right, flush around here though is a touchy subject

Only if you are misinformed. Flush isn't bad.. neither is a pan drop. It's people that have trouble, do a flush thinking it'll be magic and then blame it for the final failure.

bill your cracking me up..... time for you to take this show on the road lol

the used tranny i got from max. i bet it was flushed 3 times in 30,000 miles. its got like 140 ish on it now.

I got my info from you Bill, what now? lmao and I have to,

That said, I can use a GT transmission, right? I have research to do....

Why are you getting a new trans? Thought the new channel plate fixed the tcc issue.

It did, but the 1-2 shift is getting worse and worse. After talking to Dave (Triple Edge genius), there isn't much I can do. The clutches are sloppy from the factory, and the fact that I have 230,000 miles means they are even more sloppy. On top of that he said that a shift like mine will snap the input shaft, so I'm doing my best to avoid that. I'll be putting the hardened chains, and swapping over everything I've done to the transmission, so it should be pretty solid by the time it's in the car.
