Where to start...
-My reverse engages fast now not 10 seconds late but it's very abrupt when it engages
-builder added a HD spring and this plunger thing from Superior in front of my .427 line mod and now slow speed shifts are so fast and hard the tires chirp and the truck just rocks/shakes/clunks
-half to full throttle shifts are like before the rebuild...they are somewhat firm but off, trans shifts but it like lunges forward but the shift isn't quick to engage fully, and it squeaks still during the shift, can't describe it I wish one of yous lived close to me so we could drive it and you could see first hand what I'm trying to describe
-the builder is blaming my transgo shift kit saying they are junk and after a few years the springs get weak from them and you get these issues? I called Brian from BTS but haven't received a return call yet because I want his opinion since I bought the kit from him and he told me how to set it up four years ago and the truck was AMAZING when I first did it
-now I'm wondering if the trans guy messed up the springs from the transgo kit and that's why I'm having a problem?

Well that's very unrelaxing especially after all this work, can you take the shift kit out and put the stock back in to see if there is a difference?

Ok here's the scoop...called guy who rebuilt the trans at 12:30 I was told he was on lunch so I left my name and that I had questions on what parts he used from Superior in my transmission. It's now 4:15 and I called again and now he's out on a "test drive"!
#2 I called BTS and talked to Brian and explained what happened, what I had upgraded, that I have no idea what the builder installed either my transgo stuff or his superior part's, and whatso happening now after the rebuild with shifts etc. I was told DO NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK if I have both transgo and superior part's and especially if some are doing the same job for line pressure increase etc that if I continue to drive the truck it's gonna grenade within weeks! Bring told me to find out exactly what the builder changed and did to my trans and then call Brian back and tell him and he will explain my options....either removal of the transgo part's or removal of the superior part's depending on where they are (inside pump or valve bodies) OR complete removal of the transmission to reinstall all stock springs plungers etc and only add transgo part's and Brian will sell me what I need to make it better than it was when the trans had the HD2 kit only

Brian said my builder seems knowledgeable but had no idea what works with what. He says he just adds springs to plungers because superior says this but he doesn't know own that to adjust wide open throttle pressure all you have to do is change the EPC spring that cost $2 and it doesn't involve removal of the trans.....I'm so fed up with this I just want to trade the truck in
