  1. Well it sounds like my forward clutches are burnt up from what all the local shops are saying Haven't even put 5k miles on this thing and it toast wtf
  2. I plan on doing both the transducer and solenoid at the same time and I'm also going to throw a billet second gear strut and anchor in there at the same time (not sure why the builder didn't do this) and maybe a second gear apply lever. I'm going to take it to adrenaline performance down in Shelley,ID since they quoted me about $300 to put my parts in, adjust the bands, filter and fluid
  3. I'm down in Idaho falls
  4. I seem to have a problem uploading photos, I managed to upload a cover photo but I can't do a profile one unless supporters are only allowed to have profile pics
  5. "Our stage 2 we usually say is good to about 750.. Depending on the driver obviously (some people are just idiots lol) but that runs usually about $3800 including a billet input, billet triple disk converter, custom valve body, machined drums to fit extra clutches, Kevlar bands, ect ect. That's out the door labor included so if it's just a drop off unit and we don't have to remove and replace it it would be cheaper" thats their idea of a 750 horse transmission
  6. I had another thread called trans problems
  7. Right now I'm really wishing I would have bought a Firepunk instead of this pile of crap
  8. What about transducer? Oem or bd upgrade?
  9. Is there another way to view this forum Like tapatalk or something?
  10. I can't decide on which governor solenoid to get, the upgraded borgwarner or the GM upgrade. Who's running what?
  11. My trans does the same thing
  12. Yeah that's what I plan on, I was just wanting some other opinions on what's going on. Oh and I'd stay clear of centerline diesel in Denver colorado
  13. So I bought a "built" transmission last spring and have pretty much had problems with it since I picked it up, when I got around to putting it in and took it for a test drive all I had was 2nd and 3rd and manual 1st. The trans builder thought it was a bad pressure sensor but come to find out he had built it for a 99 and I have a 2002 so it had the wrong vb wiring. I also noticed that this "built" transmissions band was so out of adjustment I could put my entire finger under the apply lever which was also still stock along with the old used accumulator piston that was just floating around in there with no spring behind it. Well I ended up having the builder come out and re-adjust the band and change the vb wiring and haven't had a problem since.........until my move to Idaho. when we moved to Idaho from Kansas I was pulling an 8x12 uhaul and was doing fine until I got to Idaho. I went to get on it when pulling out into traffic one day and the rpms went up the whole truck vibrated and I really didn't go that much faster. Now I have a 1-2 shuttle shift under light throttle, I back out of the drive way first thing in the morning just fine but put it in drive and acts like its in neutral then kicks into gear, has second gear starts sometimes and sometimes I have to manually put it in first at stop lights I also talked to the trans builder and they said they would warranty it but I have to pull it out of my truck and send it to them to be serviced. I talked to Lavon at Firepunk and he said it sounds like it needs new transducer, governor solenoid, band adjustment and filter
