    2nd part throttle acel slip. WOT still grabs great! Force Motor or Line Press.??

    My trans has been great for months now after a good trans tune from Russ K. I have Corvette servos now and lowered my torque management to 0%. But I have been doing some 2nd gear pulls alot more really making that band struggle to hold 2000-3500 rpms with boost.
    My problem is that when I do a part throttle acceleration in 2nd gear my trans feels like it slips. The rpms climb and it slides around then grabs. My wot shifts are still very firm. Should I add a little more line pressure in the part throttle area?? or should I lower the force motor in that area??

    Ok i drove around logging some trans sensors and I found out that my line pressure is only 47 at wot!!. In 3rd at wot its 96 across the board.

    in frames 3026-3032 on a kick down i have really crappy line pressure and it slipped really bad... as you can tell in the spike in rpm and like 2 mph gain.

    Something tells me now that is there something actually wrong inside the trans that is not letting line pressure through??

    I know this is getting to be not a tuning problem but a mechanical issue but i would greatly appriciate a tip to be pointed in the right direction

    Thank!
