zippy Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 You mean a crack and no Transgo? Cool No offense. Just proves it happens without. i'm guessing it was cracked prior to it going in even. the dealership test drove it, then he drove it home. that shouldn't have been enough miles for it to crack. if it was, someone didn't build it correctly.

You must mean "the shift according to Zippy" philosophy. Shake loose your teeth, or don't drive it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellbents10 Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 You might be right there Ben. Allthough it will be worth 1-2 tenths in the quater, so thats some food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 they're not quite as harsh as some may make it sound. that thing shifted like stock, it was terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you guys did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 it had a nelson tune before we got to it. i made a few changes to try to help it and it was a bit improved, but it was still terrible. i rode in deezel's truck during the kansas meet last year and it was considerably better than this. he also has the transgo. i'm not sure what the reason was this thing shifted so weak, but it was awfull. it didn't really shift, just changed rpm...

Its a miracle <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Aww I see how it is lol. POS GM won't put a new trans in only a reman. They said they think they know whats causing the transmissions to break but I don't think they have a clue! The stock tune is back in it there for they have no way of saying it's the pcm.

Jonmalibuss Posted April 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Well if anyone cares. The latest news on my string of bad luck with the trans is, I guess there are a bunch of case's out that have a flaw or defect internaly causing them to fail and I guess they are supposed to be junked and not used as remans. Well with my luck I ended up getting one of these defective trans cases that got through the inspection process. So now they are ordering me a new case but they are going to use the parts that are in the broken trans and put them in the new case. This really pisses me off it's like polishing a turd. WTF they have spent more time and money screwing around because this is they way GM tells them to do things. I know for a fact if they do this it's going to fail again.

kaotik1 Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 If I were you I would make it fail.. That does suck bad, and GM is not so smart doing that using bad parts to make good or okay parts work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
