My 4th gear is slipping and 3rd is starting to slip.
I plan on ordering a built tranny this week.

Do I need to do anything to my Vig??

If your tranny is dieing a slow death (clutch pack wear) and your converter less than 2 years old, then I would flush the vig out before installing it in a new tranny. If your tranny dies of sudden failure where metal is floating everywhere, (or your converter is old) then you will want to cut open the converter and inspect it for trash, wear, and clutch lining condition.

Its dying a slow death. Can a local shop so this? Or should I send it back to Precision? Thanks.

Ed if it under 2 years old you get a free restall. I would send it back to precision have the free restall done to 3200 and they will check out the converter clean it up and make sure its good at that time. Thats what I would do anyway.

Bought it used, so won't get the free restall. But bumping it up to 3200. Hmmm..

you can still get it restallled if it has never been before and its under 2 years old. Since its a 2800 i dont think it was. When its out call them up and give them the #`s offf the converter and tell them you want a restall and is it still covered and see what they say

Sweet, thanks. I'll check with them today.

I just wanted to make sure installing it back in wouldn't kill my new tranny.

If the tranny is just having clutch issues, which is what it sounds like. You can normally flush the converter and reuse it. Of course if there is any metal in the fluid.. it has to be taken apart to insure all the "junk" is clear out.

In your case. I would definetly take this opportunity to get it upgraded to a 3200.

Thanks, I am actually thinking of buying a Vig 3200 now, so I can get my car up and running fast. R&R mine to be safe and sell it.
