yeah. imma get a tuned pcm or get mine tuned once i get that new trans. i got some plans. but for now i just need a trans

How do you determine if your GTP has Performance Shift?

Bingo

Thanks

Did you end up getting a new/rebuilt tranny? If so.......how has it worked out since?

i actually got a trans out of an 01 le sabre. it is a non hd trans and the gear ration is 2.89 or 2.86, i forgot. so it currently isnt shifting at the right times. once i out my HD diff in it will change the ratio to a 3.29. so i just ordered my pcm from intense that is tuned to a 3.29 and its been 3 weeks already and im still waiting for a reply. they just sent me an email a bout a week ago saying that they are on vacation til the 30th of last month. so hopefully this week i will get it.

Is it just me? My car does not slow down very fast at all when in most any gear. I find it very annoying.
