Tranny Problem
Trans shifts fine if your easy on on it, or driving normal. If I get a little heavy on the pedal it bangs into 3rd bad. Trans shop says they need to take it apart to see whats wrong. I'm hoping one of you guys will tell me it might be something simple like pressure line problem or anything but pulling the trans.

I don't know what the problem is. But I do know I wouldn't pay a local trans shop to "take it apart to see what the problem is" with the amount of miles and mods you have. With StageIII injectors, chip, and 165k miles I'd be praising the OEM 4R100 and start looking for a great performance trans.

Those are great injectors & programs, bet you love the power. Anyhow, have you done any upgrades to the tranny (i.e. valve body) or is it stock?

This sounds like something the Sonnax valve might just cure. You might have some valve bore wear, and that's what the valve was originally designed to fix. You don't need the three accumulator springs, but you could use them if you elected to. I would.
