Default Ideas?

I just bought a 06 Impala SS and I'v already got a k&n intake and a resonator delete on it and im about to put a trans cooler on, sounds like these cars have severe trans issues and im already starting to see it on my car with only 70xxx. Well anyway what else should be done?

get a shift kit either from trans go or cartuning has a good one and its easy to install. if you plan on staying na i would say get the dt headers and go catless and a tune.

I refused to be a statistic as well until it happened to me out of the blue. Never felt a difference in my trans but it feels better than ever now that it has been rebuilt properly. The GM techs should be kicked in the *** for putting a 4 spd auto in these cars

make sure you dont flush the trans. drop the pan and drain it, replace the filter. and since your already in the pan you might as put in a shift kit
