Delted Torque Management wiped 1-2 in my trans only basic bolt-ons Until recently, I basically have just Maganaflow catback, Underdrive crank pulley and lid/FTRA and 3.42s. When I first deleted torque management, I got nice barking shifts. I decided to build up the trans while I was doing a torque conveter and the builder said the 1-2 band was almost gone and the drum was pretty gone too. I hope it's all because I'm making more power than I think.. anyway, beware deleting torque management on a stock trans. I'm going to leave it deleted with my performance rebuild.

FYI, my band was fu(ked up pretty bad in my last trans (It was cracked and worn) even with TM in place, so I wouldn't look to necessarily place the blame on that.
Had you done anything to raise line pressure excessivily, like raising it with tuning? Or doing a tuning pressure raise and running a shift kit?
I have now removed TM altogether, because I got sick of how it felt. My current trans should be able to hold up without TM just fine. Lots of guys with stock transmissions going for 10s of thousands of miles without TM.

I too have my TM deleted, WITH the installation of a TC, Transgo, & TCI flexplate, bolted to a basically stock motor with a few bolt ons, AND HAVE ABSOLUTLY NO PROBLEMS WHAT SO EVER.

I have the TransGo, billet servos, stock stall, and NO TqMgt... tranny works great and has been for 1000s of miles...
TqMgt causes more problems by dropping line pressure at the top of the shift.

The TM pulls timing practically to zero. I had a weird whoosh sound through my catback on the shifts before the deletion...
