As long as it is still shifting ok and locking up, you can drive it. But if it is not locking up then a retune is needed asap or the trans will get hot fast.

The converter is in now,night and day difference.lock up is fine but need to adjust shift points a little.It's loose with 2.73s,but fun to drive.

Gu2 is 2.73(door panel). I fking hate 2.73s.
A 3.42/3.73 with a 3800 is a great combo
