trans is jerking i have a 4l60e with a level 3 build to handle a lot of hp. the only problem is as long as i'm accelerating the car is fine but when i'm cruising between 15 to 50 mph or i slow done the trans starts jerking. if i speed up it stops or if i put on the brakes it stops. any ideas what this might be. i have a 408 with a trex cam i don't know if that will help solve the problem. any advice would be appreciated

Ok the jerking could be several things but what comes to mind most particularly if you have a large cam is the converter not unlocking this will cause a sensation very similar to a standard shift when slowing down in to high a gear without he clutch depressed ,
and based on the fact that it stops when you apply the brakes I would say thats what it is , You will need to have the tuning checked to see if the converter unlock parameters are correct (the speed at which it locks and unlocks)
