Hey Greg,
At one of the last gtg's I think I over heard you talking with Andy about somebody who builds E4OD's that are bullet proof. Is this a local place? I don't like how mine shifts and I want to get a second opinion. It just seems to shift weird, I installed "The Cure" about a year ago thinking that would help but it just removed the flair.

It was probably Aaron rather than me. He's the in house transmission guru. I barely understand the mechanics of a torque converter.

hey justin. a lot of guys like BTS(not local), suncoast (not local), or for nothing fancy just a heavy duty rebuild, talk to jerry's in guilford. if you arent running much for power mods jerrys makes a pretty good trans that holds up well to a mostly stock truck.

they dont have off the shelf e40d's or other electronic trannies for that matter. they specialize in the trannies used in drag racing like c4/6's and powerglides. they will rebuild or custom build anything you want, but they can be pricey for modern stuff they dont have an inventory of parts for.

Aren't you 2 sitting like 1 room away from each other??? Couldn't you just collaborate a little rather than bantering between rooms?

How about you both sit around the same computer and come up with 1 coherent thought rather than 6 of the separated by a paper thin wall

I dont think we could both come up with one coherent thought. Besides I do not converse with Aaron after work is over. It is bad for the empolyer - employee relationship.

One easy thing you may want to check is, there is a fuse related to the transmission (I think). Of course that depends on your model. I have a 97 and when the fuze is burnt out it seems to shift different.
