i have done a complete diy rebuild kit from john woods. i took the truck to the track to see what she would do with stage 1s, tw chip, new rebuilt trans and diy e-fuel. i spooled up to 1500rpms on pre stage and then bumped into stage. as i left the line it felt as if the trans slipped then when i lifted and got back on it everything was fine. as i pulled off the track i noticed that it locked the converter up aroung 5mph and didnt release the converter inbetween shifts. out of the 3 runs i did that night it did it to me twice. it didnt do it when i went straight to stage and quickly took the rpms to 1500. well last week i installed hybrid injectors and reburned tw chip. went to a back road poped it into 4wd drive and took my time spooling and when i took off it did it agine.
What would cause the trans to automatically lock the tc in first gear? is that a fail safe? i was told it could be a seal leaking but wich one? also during the rebuild that upper valve body had so much junk in it that the valves were sticking. so i took memory cloth and smothered everything out to make the valves move correctly. could i have smoothed it out to much and now to much fluid is getting by and now i need a new upper vb?
thanks for any advice,
Mark
