Actually I'm here because I enjoy being here and actually As most know here I do not build the transmissions, Design and research yes but build no, I built transmissions for 20 years, My present job with this company is not building transmissions but tech support and sales for our products and to make sure we give the best customer support available.
I don't consider what I do blowing my horn, I provide information to everyone that ask for it whether its concerning our product or not.Even when theres not a sale poteintial involved.
Why do I have so much time because this is my job to be right here for everyone 7 days a week from 9 am till 1 am eastern time and beyond, We are not a small company and for this reason I do not have to divide my time between building and customer service . And will continue to be able to do that. I am here to serve this community to the best of my ability and I feel I do. Whenever you or anyone else needs assistance all they have to do is post up or call and im right here. For us thats what customer service is all about being here when we are needed not just when or if we have time.

People getting their panties all in a bunch...i like performabuilt cause they seem to help all they can....If i had a business then i would want to advertise aswell....IF my tranny every goes (knock on wood) performabuilt seems like the first company i would look too, aside from my current local builder......If anything it seems FLT comes in and tries to put down or show off infront of performabuilt all the time.

Its ok I think people are not used to a company like us in that we don't have our builders and shop techs running back and fourth trying to do tech and help customers between building transmissions, In stead we keep them back there with only one thing on there mind making sure every things as perfect as possible not that theres anything wrong with other ways of doing business we are just doing it a new and different way is all.

I thought this thread was for the 2-3 shift? But anyway I read a thread last week about trans oil Long story short, I drained the Amsoil synthetic trans fluid out,Which is very good oil and I put in regular Dex III in (non synthetic) and I also read somewhere on LS1 tech,Actually it was Frank from performabuilt who said If I remember,That if you drag race,Start with the shift lever in 3rd and when it hits 2nd push the shift lever to OD,I had logged rpm with EFILive before I did any of this.This is what happened when left in 3rd, When it was suppose to shift from 2nd to 3rd the rpm's went up 400 to 600rpm's then go into 3rd,Thats probably why alot of guy's are hitting the limiter.Then with different oil and movivg the shift lever to OD it only went up a 100 rpm's and shifted real nice .I don't know maybe its just me,But it worked..........................Paul

Yes thats because you aren't applying the overun clutch with the 3-4 clutch that way so you have more pressure and volume for the shift to apply the 3-4 clutch.
cool glad it worked out well that way.
