Motor and tranny are back in and Motor seems to be running great . Tranny shifts hard and is going to be a great upgrade . One problem though . With the original valve body , the tranny wouldnt shift into 1st [ manually or in auto ] until the rpm's were low enough . Now I can shift into first in manual , and if Im going faster than [ say ] 5 mph the tranny makes a clunking studdering sound until it ingauges . Does any one else get this ?

 

This happens with my Stillen Valve body upgrade as well. Does it both in 1st and 2nd. Severity depends on how much or how little you have your foot on the gas at the time.

 

Its only done it when down shifting from 2nd to 1st when Im going over 5-10 mph . Doesnt do it when it down shifts by itself . Did you call Stillen about it ? and if so what was thier reply ?

 

never had that prob. booger. i would call SGP and see about that.

 

I plan on it , but it was to late to do it today .

 

Yea, only on downshifts when going 5-10mph. Heard it was normal.

 

Yeah i hear ya. i've driven mine like a bat out of hell and havent really had that problem you describe. i have learned that driving a TT Z witn the SGP VB takes alot of learning. you really have to know when to shift in manuel mode. and MM is the only way to race but thats just my .02

when i drive it in Auto mode it shifts way to fast and doesnt go through the whole gear.

 

OH!!!!! down shifting.

well mine doesnt really clunk but it does sound like **** if im going to fast and try to manuely down shift. i have learned to let it down shift on it's own (its nice not to have to worry about it).

 

Im not going to be able to test it any time soon . The blower is getting sent back to Vortech tomorrow . I got on it just a little bit...1/4 throttle , got 4psi just like that . And the blower started to whine really loud after that . We checked oil supply and drain lines and they are fine . SO it might be another month before I get it back . They say 7 to 10 day turn around . It took 30 days last time

What mods do you have in the AT tranny and how much was it.

 

only mod to my tranny is the VB got it for 700 hookup price. i hope to upgrade my AT to be bullet proof soon.

 

o they are making one

ive noticed recently that alot of 5at owners are going FI they are to have to come up with some tranny mods soon i think the market for the 5at has to gow and very quick. Their is alot of demand.

 

What tranny mod should i do better a torque converter or a VB i just dont want the tranny to suffer im going to hopefully be at 400 to the wheels.Let me know which one to get.

 

well you kind of have to get the VB. i've been told this time and time again. the stock VB just takes to long to shift. I alos raised my rev limit to allow it to shift at 7100 and that made a nice difference too.

 

subscribing for knowledge, thanks

 

what hp level are you at and does your tranny slip at all

 

I was at 400whp [ mustang dyno ] I should be much higher after I get it tuned again . No slipping before the VB upgrade

 

im at 515 (guesstament) or so. (i dynoed at 489 and up'ed my boost one PSI and the rasied my limiter. no tranny sliping so far. knock on wood

 

ok so that gives me hope thanks alot guys. And good luck with the cars.
