Tranny Problems

I have a 96 powerstroke with a superchip programmer however my tranny still tends to slip. Does anyone know of what I can do to correct this problem? One of my friends suggested a B&M electronic shift improver but i do not know if I can run the two programs together? I am looking for any advice

trannie

you may have a mechanical problem in the trannie that no tuner will fix. maybe have the trannie checked before wasting your $ on a shift kit etc. what is the slipping?

Slippage with tunes can happen with 94-97 Powerstrokes. The stock valve isn't always up to the task of supplying the needed pressure. An electronic improver won't work (the tuner already does that).

Yes, this product will work with all 7.3L Powerstrokes, with or without a chip or tuner it will improve the shift, especially if you have slippage.
