I had this trans built. I cant say with certainty what all was done to it. The 1-2 shift is crazy. It will hit the whole car hard even at a 20mph traffic roll. Every shift is violent. There not positive gear changes as much as there sledge hammer to the dashes.
Here is what I do know. the 1-2 accumulator was blocked. I was warned that it's going to do this but I thought the converter stall would absorb it. It's not. I didn't use any particular sep plate or shift kit but we played around with different spring combinations and such. 2-3 feels 100% dead on and everything else is cool. 1-2 shift feels great under WOT and there's no issue there. It's just way to aggressive at normal cruising.
I have a Sonnax Blue super Servo and I was told that I can pull the servo out and possibly make a change that will correct this. Maybe add shims, washers machine pin etc....?
What can I do?
