    So I have a weird issue going now lol.. for the most part my gtp is doin really good other than a few things that Im still working on! But a few days ago I decided to give someone a ride and I WOT from a roll shifted into 1st, then all the sudden it cut all the power from my wheels and banged back into 1st gear again and made my tiresscreech! So I figured I was low on Trans fluid and checked! I was low (trans tube leaks I believe cause of bending to fit T.O.G headers on) And I think it only leaks when I park on a steep hill! So I added so far about 3 quarts of trans fluid and it keeps swallowing it i think. Also this seems to only happen when I have it in performance shift mode. When I have it with perf mode OFF, it seems to do okay other than weak stock shifting into gears lol.. normal I hear tho! It feels like its not a slip but like it literally disables my trans for a brief moment. It only bangs when I WOT from a roll... for instance if I takeoff from a dig and roll into WOT, then it DOESN'T happen at all I had a friend tune my PCM with DHP and currently trying to contact him to double check the tune! What would u think and what can I check for now? THANKS for everything

    Sounds toast if you ask me.

    PS adds line pressure/faster shift time, say that tune added even more over stock and now it can't handle the power you are putting down, it's just going to blow itself apart on the inside. Slip and bang = death.

    Fix the leak and then start looking for a used trans. as this one sounds like it's done. If you tune it back to less pressure I wonder if it would even function correctly at this point. You may get away with it for a while but it's just a matter of time now. I'd lay off the WOT from a roll for now before it leaves you stranded, lol...

    How's the fluid look? Nice and red or brown/black?
