What gears do you have? Need more info. It could be normal. Is it a lock up tc? It could be failing to lock up.

When Im doin 70 unlocked I'm at 2700 with 4.10's, is your speedo calibrated?

GT Griller, did you get your new tranny installed? I put my yank in and it seems to be alright, I just disabled lockup so nothing happens until I can get a built tranny from one of the sponsors.

sure did man, with a new Vig 3600.....Runs like a BEAST!!! i love this new vig...no chattering when it locks up and my topend is back..the fuddle was WAY inefficient on the topend for me and the vig hits sooooo much harder...my builder elimintaed PWM again just like the first time and made lock up firmer aswell....cant wait for the track to re-open.

Good to hear man, PWM is a destroyer of converters. I had no idea. Pretty expensive mistake in my opinion. The yank is wicked that I have. You wouldnt happen to have hp tuners so I can take a look at where your shifts are do you?

No i dont man..but Jason at TSP set me up to shift at 6300....I have an Autometer 5in tach with shift light and its set for 6300rpm...car shifts as soon as the light comes on...so im guessing its dead on.

You're quite welcome!
Great to read that it was what you expected. Can't wait to see how it runs.

To the original poster, I'm no transmission diagnostics man, but I do know my lock-up was acting very strangely when I first put it in, and car wasn't re-tuned for it yet. It worked normal sometimes...then it wouldn't lock-up sometimes. It was hit or miss. Now, it works like a stocker, only looser until it does lock...lol. Good Luck.
