survey superchip tranny failures

Was curious if anyone had installed a superchip on a automatic, then had transmission problems not to long after using it? I'am planning on buying one. Thanks in advance for any replys. Jeff

Ran mine for about 40k and never had any issues. I use Mobil 1 Synthetic, if it makes any difference..

I have been using one for about 20,000 miles with no problems at all. 45,000 miles total on the truck.

new truck tranny

I have a 1997 so I would expect it would be harder on the trans. Also no trans. work done. Has just under 100k miles, and changed oil in trans. twice since I've owned it. Also sonnax valve mod.

I've been running Superchip SCMT for about 40,000 miles w/ no problems. I installed FTVB about 10,000 miles ago and that firmed up shifts better.
