If your trans is in good shape, i think you'll be fine with a modded valve body and upgraded torque converter. IMO you dont need a full billet ($$$$) converter. I just installed a modded 6oh converter in my truck and it feels MUCH better than the late model 4r100 triple disk i had in before.

Im not sure I understand the shift flair description about the cure and how to test to see if it will work?

What Im noticing is what seens like a slight hesitation in the shift at 40mph.
It seems to be accelerating ok but I feel a slight bump after it shifts occasionally.
It also bumps like this downshifting.

It has also been very noticable when towing a trailor.
When accelerating the hesitation is longer and the bump is harder.

Is this flair what Im describing?

How would I know if my TC is ok?

sounds like shift flair to me. To test it lock out OD and accelerate normally then after the TC locks turn OD back on. try that a few times. You should notice a difference.

How do I know when the TC locks with OD off?
What should I notice when I turn OD back on? I assume Im doing that at speed 55 or so right?

If I drive it with the OD off I dont notice the bump at 40mph.

Any way to know if the TC is ok?
