Walt's Transmissions out of Bowling Green. I am pretty sure he has installed a few more of the guys on here. He came highly recommended. Have you allready got yours installed?

Mine didn't either. I was about 30 mins out of town at my "destination" :mad:.

Thanks man, it's actually pretty dirty.

When will yours be done?

Picked mine up today! Run through the relearn process. Shifts a lot firmer than the stock tranny. So far so good. Will he have you running tomorrow?

So he resets the trans for you? I was going to bring EFI Live anyways.

depends on where you get it and what extras you get with it. kit is somewhere around 3K for the stage 4 and install is somewhere around 1200 ish. i would budget for 4500. i think you can get the stage 3 for about 2K though without install.

He reset it, I had to do the relearn. It shifts a little hard from 3-4 but other than that all is great so far. Did you pick yours up? How is it so far?

My stage IV with a 1056 and the t case brace installed was $4375. But it is one of the best investments I have made to the truck.

Picked it up today...

It's shifting pretty bad right now man. Downshifts are pretty harsh also.

Hopefully it'll clear up.

it will. ;) also, if you throw the tune you will be running on there as it it relearns it will also be ready to run that tune when the trans has settled down. kinda killing two birds with one stone...

x2. Mine has gotten better. It shifts a little hard going from 4-5 in drive and 2-3 in t/h. Earl said it would get better. My downshifts were pretty bad for a bit but they have straightened out. Good luck with yours.

Mines clearing up real nice also.. the 5 - 6 shift is the worst one now.

I love it so far.. Converter feels great compared to a stock one. :cool:

That's what I love the most about mine. Good firm shifts and lockup

i have the ats 5 star converter in mine but thats it. the converter locks up awesome but you can almost feel the clutches trying to slip. probably have some alto and transgo toys in my future.

Converter locking up nicely. Shifts are getting a lot smoother. Pulled my 30fter today and you couldnt tell it was back there!:ro)
