I can't decide on which governor solenoid to get, the upgraded borgwarner or the GM upgrade. Who's running what?

I have the GM upgrade, but I would honestly just go Borgwarner there wasn't a big difference.

What about transducer? Oem or bd upgrade?

OEM should be fine.

Right now I'm really wishing I would have bought a Firepunk instead of this pile of crap

Understand that.

 

 

What are your issues?

I would like to suggest that you get in contact with @Dynamic on the site he's our on site automatic trans guru.

I had another thread called trans problems

The GM unit uses the upgraded borg warner solenoid. So either way you get the best solenoid, borg warner. The GM unit comes with a billet mount and I'm not sure what else that entails. That BD transducer is new. I haven't run across anyone using it yet.

I ended up going with these 

The GM conversion is no better than the Borg Warner HD, but it is 3x as expensive. The GM conversion uses a late-model 4L60E  pressure control solenoid, which often become troublesome when they get up there in mileage.I build a lot of 4L60E's that are on my bench because of this solenoid...

The BD kit (TCS also sells it) simply uses an early metal transducer (which tend to be a bit more robust) and supply a small harness that converts the wiring to work with the late-model PCM. I have never used one, so I don't know the specifics on their little wire harness.

I use and highly recommend the Borg Warner HD and an OEM or Borg Warner transducer...

Those are the ones... Decent price, too. We sell them for a couple of bucks cheaper, but this is a good price, too.
