Speedo doesn't register until I hit 2nd...
Installed a new converter...no speed registering until just before I hit 2nd. Additionally, shifts 1 and 2 are fine but 3 is real sloppy and sometimes appears to overlap with 2nd causing a slight bucking under light throttle. If I launch 3/4 throttle she runs thru the gears with out error and sounds great/feels great. I can manually shift thru all gears at a stop, fulid level is perfect, temps are in the 150s (tranny) and lock-up is fine with ZERO codes. Is this simply a result of my car still being tuned for my previous converter (Fuddle) which was really loose. My Pro-Torque is awesome except for these issues above. Everyone I speak to thinks I just need to re-tune the tranny from scratch...since this is a more efficient converter all of my shift points/rpms/mph are slightly off...all of which work together when sending the proper message to the tranny.. My tranny/mph/shifts just seem to be electronically confused sometimes...make sense? Just looking for reassurance.

The variable speed sensor? I just replaced the vss wire. So you think it's the VSS? Anyway to tell? Can I change it without dropping the tranny? If so, can you give me a quick how-to?

When I dropped the tranny to install the converter I forgot to unplug the vss clip and the wire ripped in the middle...we tried sautering it but obviously is was a bad connection...which could've shorted the sensor. I've since replace the VSS wire with a new one leading me to believe it's the sensor. So basically crawl underneath on the passenger side and there's a 10mm bolt right where the VSS wire clips to the sensor? Pull it out and replace it. How much fluid can I expect to come rushing out. Do i need to disconnect the neg on the battery? Sorry for all the newbie questions...don't know crap about trannys. So a new VSS will do the trick? Thanks! HAve one you can overnight to VA? I can paypal/or credit card.

PROBLEM FIXED! Performabuilt was DEAD on. Swapped in a new sensor...speedo works = normal shiftpoints/RPMS. You guys rock! Oh and it was an 8mm and zero fluid in my face! Thanks again...feels great having the car run good...been a few weeks
