Your problem could be trans related but could also be tuning related. I would check the tune and if nothing there possibly consider one of the sponsors here. The 700r4 is certainly not and improvement over the 60e

im guessing tht it would prolly b tranny issues then? i mean b4 the procharger it still did the same thing its doing now... so i take it the 700r4 isnt an upgrade. so im thinking about going with a raptor th400. ne1 got ne info on those trans?

----->>>>>> go with a sponser here. They can build you a 4L60 that will hold up. Don't lose your OD by going with a TH400.
