Because im lazy lol

Something to take note of is before I did my pan drop I had the sloppy second gear shift. I can still make it do it if I time it right but it doesn't do it on it's own anymore. I also have the delayed reverse engagement common to the sloppy second gear shift. I've read these are a result of some sleeve or something getting worn and bleeding off pressure. I wonder if this is my problem.

I also broke out a stopwatch and did 45-65 times. Mine tend to be 3.7-3.8 seconds while Brandon's is 3.2-3.3 seconds....roughly half a second quicker

So Matt are you agreeing on the trans being worn and bleeding off pressure? It's about all I can come up with

Cam were you stock in that vid?

A compression test on the trans? Or a cylinder compression test?

nope, intake, headers, mild tune

Well Austin, whatever you need me to do buddy I'll help you out, given that this compression tester device doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

I'm betting trans with the miles and trans symptoms. And plus first gear I can't tell a diff It's once it gets to second that it starts slowin down.

Ehh I'm not super worried about it. I'm fairly convinced it's the trans Brandon
