is it slipping?
I really have no idea if it is slipping so i am going to describe what exactly i am experiencing. just as a side not i have a ported and descreened MAF..i do not want to start the ongoing feud of a ported maf and decreasing line pressure. these are just things to keep in mind that might come into play. k here it goes. say i am driving and the car is warmed up i begin to break as i enter a turn around to head in the other direction. as i role through the turn at around 17mph+ around i hit the gas pretty good but not enough for it to kick the trans down as i am accelerating i slowly begin to take my foot off the gas before it shifts and this is what happens.....the revs bounce around a little bit in 500rpm increments for just a second then shifts...is it sliping or i am foling the comouter to make it think that i was going to keep my foot on the gas?? any recommendations would be great!
thanks J

yah burnt trans fluid smells like ***.
best time to flush is when you do shiftkit/verters since you've lost 99% of the fluid by then.
but datalog some runs rpm VS MPH vs TCC etc with efilive or atap and show us the slippage.
Would show up quick in a efilive log

Anyway. Since you don't have a scanner run it up to shift points in 2nd and then 3rd. If it hits the rev limiter, in either gear, it's slipping
