Default New Best with some shifting issues

11.48 @ 119 1.58 60'. Got something going on with the shifting towards the end of the runs. It starts shifting allover the place.

At the end of the track when in "OD" it starts shifting up and down. When it's in "D" it does the same thing just not as bad.

Any chance you are hitting the rev limiter? or maybe sucking the pan dry?

Tried raising the rev limiter and adding almost a half quart more transmission fluid.

Nice pass. Im curious to see whats causing that shifting issue. I also ran my best this weekend hitting the limiter on the 2-3 shift.

Why don't you run a taller tire so you don't go into OD before the line?

I dont think he said its shifting into OD. I believe he meant he tried running in both D and OD and it still does the same thing.

I hope it's not the transmission getting weak.

If it is the tranny, bigger stall and better transmission!

Any chance it was the lock up in the torque converter?

Well after letting Pat G look at the logs from the runs, found that the throttle was only at 75% at wide open throttle. Which would allow the converter to lock up and not full line pressure. Found the adjustment clip loose. So I readjusted it. I guess I found a free mod for more power.
