Default give me your opinion

so my trans has been acting up periodically so i took it in this morning to have it rebuilt at desert trans. just got a call telling me they could not get it to do anything out of the norm, i asked about a shift kit while it was there. he told me don't mess with it do a service and call it a day as it would not be worth the coin and there where several internal upgrades that could be done as well at the time of rebuilding, so "when i brake it, they will fix it" cool the guys down there know there ****.

so the question that all that led up to, for the guys who upped the trans fluid pressure how much did you dial it up and how was the end result?

(and if you need a trans shop in vegas look this place up honest people are hard to come buy out hear and this place wouldn't take my money so what dose that tell you)

The problems that our trans' see are caused by issues in the valvebody. Just upping the line pressure by itself is a band-aid. I've posted several threads about this, as I've researched the topic heavily (I'm on trans #3).

Call Dave @ Triple Edge Performance if you want the real story. He specializes in our trannys and knows why they fail and how to prevent it from happening in the future.

I don't trust anyone else.
