Preformed well in competitions but apparantly decided to screw everyone.

I don't know what you're feeling at 55-60 but MK is the most knowledgeable guy we have on these transmissions. There is no gear after 4th and mine will drop into 4th at around 40-45 under normal driving conditions.

I'm not trying to argue just learn. From a dead stop their is a shift around 15mph one at 30 one at 40 to 45 then what I call overdrive at 55 to 60 the last one is the intermittent one.

One of those shifts is the torque converter locking. If you can watch live data you could determine which is which. Forscan will do this for you.

Mark is correct (of course, just reiterating to the OP). The 5th ‘shift’ are feeling is the torque converter locking up. There is a clutch in the TC that engages and reduces TC slip to zero. Lockup is very pronounced in our trucks and feels like a shift.

Like he said, monitor gears and TC LU to see which you are having issues with.

it would be the last one so the TQ lockup that is missing using torque pro I'm showing all 4 gears shifting the last one at 45mph i guess it's the TQ lockup that's intermittent. I'm just gonna bite the bullet and but a new one from a more reputable builder. Just suck flushing 5k down the toilet.
