Well ever since installing my deletes and innovative tuning my truck has never shifted properly at WOT. After talking with innovative they suggested swapping in a job 3 TCM, last night I swapped in a job 3 TCM and changed the direct solenoid and at WOT it still seems to screw up the shift into 3rd gear, it seems to shift in and out then it seems to defuel the engine because even though my foot is still in it the engine rpm's drop. Anyone have any thoughts? I am planning on an elite trans by Feb but i was hoping to have it working properly for the meantime.

Have you given your transmission time to learn the tune? Mine did this when I first installed my spartan 310 but after driving it for a while it shifts like new.

Try this.
Load tow tune with firmer with stock lock.
Drive normal and let the tranny shift through all the gears.
Gradually give it more throttle.
Hit it at WOT.
If that works switch to the street and do the same, then the X-Street.
My tranny is all stock as are many others so something is either tune related (which I doubt), not letting the tranny learn or the tranny is not in good shape.

it was a solenoid from elite i'm not sure if they are modded or not, i bought the truck used so i can't say what it has been through in the last 80k miles. it will be getting a stage 5 trans from elite probably sooner than later i was just hoping to get it shifting right for the meantime.
