    Converter or the transmission slips?

    I do this Coogle compiler, So there may be errors.

    I have a Trans Am -98, LS1/4l60E, PCM -02 LS6 intake manifold. Deatschwerks injectors (I recommend), Vortech supercharger. The transmission is confirmed 750hp. repair kit, 2013, in the summer.

    But now began to slip, you know how to act, what is at fault, wrong?

    Attached to the HP-locs.

    Thanks in advance.

    Not working!

    Glide starts with very little gas, which you can see the TPS value vs. rounds jailbreak, frame 865 begins after the event. In fact, the login box is running 1:1, as it should be.

    That's what makes this even more weirder, incredible glide takes place on three and a four, but, number one and number two it would be like to like, which is again contrary to the converter wrong?: Rukoilla:

    Looks like the transmission is slipping in 3rd and 4th gear. Probably the 3/4 clutch. Is there any DTC's?

    Thank you for your answer. I sent my car's transmission to specialist who will check it. There is only PO300 DTC for a short time and only sometimes because VE-table isn't quite ready yet.

    Check this video and notice part starting from 0:29.(RPM gauge) (I'm sorry because of video's bad quality.)

    After this the problem is become much more worse.

    I have to agree with Russ on 3/4 clutches being damaged, and causing the slip. You said this trans was built to hold 750 hp. What parts/clutches were put in it?

    I didn't build the transmission, so I'm not sure. But I think there might Monster's parts in it. Anyway we are going to use this component to replace the old but we are not sure which will be the maker company.

    What are you thinking about these charts, do they seems to be good?

    The Smart-Tech by Sonnax is a great item to have. 9 clutches in the 3-4 pack really make a difference, especially on high hp applications. As for the charts you are referencing from PATC, those are just stock tables. They are comparing the difference between upgrading internal parts or tuning the transmission to accomplish desired shift time/pressures.

    Question

    Hey... Something I noticed in the log.

    Im a newbie and Im still learning so you may take my observation with a grain of salt...

    Frames 434-458 and 1076-1085. 4th gear with converter lockup clutch applied (Does this car have a lockup converter?). Engine RPM rises while the trans input RPM goes down. Converter bad maybe?

    I could be wrong. Just something I noticed...

    Also TCC slip RPM is high. 2190 RPM at one spot...

    That does look a bit off on those two parts. Triag - Do you have an aftermarket converter in there as well? Another thing I am now noticing, is that trans temp jumped up 20 degrees in that short time. 220 is still within normal operating range, but if it gets higher, you will start to burn up clutches and probably start to experience some slipping. Are you using the factory cooler/radiator and/or auxiliary cooler?

    I think he does have an aftermarket converter in there. IIRC it flashes kinda high (I will have to look at the log again). And stall + slipping lockup clutch = heat. I hope he does have an auxiliary cooler...

    3-4 clutch slip, now works ... Sonnax the drum,billet piston and the shaft. The converter is standard and TIG welded to the turbine blades. This is the factory cooler. I already bought an additional reference cooler?

    I'm trying to make a program tual table, norm / perf. Street / Drag

    I'm sorry, my son is not now, writing this.
