Thread: So the story begins with engine to tranny

So Thursday night i put my 42.5's, modded rails and overkill in. it was getting late but i was determined to get it running so 12:00 am came around i got it done and put the PCM in and started the car. The car would sit at idle and surge (idle would go up and down) for about 30 secs to a minute. So i decided to put my other PCM in and tune it for the 42's i did and put it in the car and BAM fired right up and idled PERFECT so i was like . so it was getting late time for bed..
Friday night after work came home put the TB spacer in with the nitrous nozzle etc and put the overkill back in it ran OK then we turned it off and looked everything over and started it again and ran fine. Wel we decided to take it for a spin with the overkill PCM and the smart one i am i 4got to tell him that i had performance shift wired in so he tuned it for WOT will increase the pressure well i did about 3 WOT's with performance shift on when we got home we could smell nice wonderful clutch! side note i pulled 0kr with 3.2 pulley..So i told myself not to use performance shift anymore i drove home got half way smelt the tranny fluid and it was BURNT bad. So i happen to meet my buddy on the road with his gtp and had a tranny filter in the back so Saturday i dropped the fluid and filter and replaced both. Sunday i went to the track and i put my other PCM back in cause i was worried about the tranny issue. Well i said F it and ran 5 different times at the track and 3 out of 5 i got tranny codes p1571 trq converter circuit i was in the championship round so i couldnt let the tranny drag me down. So i went and raced my last one and came home with Street Trophy champion. Note the track is 120 miles from my parents place, so i made it home no problem and i took it to my tranny man on Monday and i explained to him what all that had happened and he said more than likely the trq converter is junk and the tranny is fried the new fluid with less than 500 miles on it was BURNT AGAIN!! So now my car sits at the tranny shop getting a nicely rebuilt tranny that is getting all the goodies i want in it.. for a nice price too..

yes i know i shouldnt have done what i did but life goes on

so thats my awesome story thats gonna cost me lots

that is decently slow for a newer bike.

glad to hear you got your car running well. im in the same area with the 3.2 knock free. feels damn good. are you still thinking of doing e85 or is that not happening anymore?

the bike is a 2006 and he needs to get full leathers and a license so he can go over 120mph so he has to let off at 120

yea the e85 is a no go im satisfied with my 93 octane.

thats a shame, now you wont go as fast.
