is anyone running the trans-go 4L60E-3?
i took this from their site "Stick Shift; Full Manual Control; Converts back to automatic. For transplant or use with no electrical: Includes: 46-MOD (Vacuum controlled line pressure)."
i've been unlucky in getting past this stall issue with wot shifting. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. so i've been looking into a manual type 700r4, till i found this. just looking for any advice on if this is worth it, or is it better to build a 700 with a manual valve body?
thanks.

I'd suggest staying away from the vacuum modulator, unless you want a transmission full of burnt parts. We remove them constantly that were installed by previous builders. Some of those builders advertise here. We've redone several of theirs. the last one only lasted 500 miles before it smoked the 3-4 clutches!
If you're having transmission shifting issues, you might want to check into having it built correctly. Click on the link below, if you want the best.

its been a random thing....one day its perfect, the next day is the complete opposite. thats why i've been thinking of a manually shifted auto, take away the electronic part of it.

Well though making it a full manual would undoubtably solve the issue.I dont suggest it , I would figure out whats happening and if the shift is being commanded when this happens

I have scans from the track from both (shifting and not shifting) with Datamaster (scanning engine and trans). Would you be able to look at those and see what is being commanded?

anyone know what to look for in the log to see if the shift is commanded?

unfortunatly I am not familiar with how the logs should look , I ussually do it with a snap on scanner which will allow you to watch when the shifts commanded and on OB2 systems even allow you to command the shift .Im sue some of the tuning guys would know what to look for though
