Default FLT in!

MJHoward installed my level 4 FLT 60 and PI Vig 2400 stall today. Took about 6 or 7 hours and that was with me overfilling the dang thing with ATF and Mark having to suck it back out (He was real good at it too).

Broke it in on the way home on a 150 mile trip unlocking and locking up the convertor. From what I can tell so far it feels great the Tc is just about perfect for daily driving and the shifts are firm but not ridiculous.

Sorry no pics but if it helps there is lots of these.

Many thanks to Mark for staying up all day to install this for me!

Thank you for the feed back Kyle. Glad to hear all is well. I'm still waiting to see some pic's with the customer drinking a cold one with one of my units. They do like german . Enjoy your new unit and if you ever have any questions feel free to call any time. Take care, Vince.

That's exactly what Mark said after it fired the first time. Let's drink a cold one!

I'll definitely give some feedback after I get to jump on it a couple times. Right noe all I know is the PI hits hard when it locks up, I like the way it feels sharp and crisp, I just hope it is supposed to hit this hard.

Vince, Thanks to everyone at the shop who built this for me.

I've had two PI's in my truck. The clutch lock is hard. Feels like another shift.

I like the hard lock up. Lets you know it isn't slipping. I could be tweaked down a little for comfort. Under light acceleration the lock-up hits 2x's as hard as the shifts. We had a smooth install taking our time. Would have been a little quicker if I had had some sleep and getting all the damn brackets back on the bellhousing studs. If it was mine we would have been done a lot faster cause I wouldn't have put them all on! I would have just said F-it and had another one

Glad you like it, hopefully my Level 4 will come in soon. I though it was supposed to be here yesterday...but I guess not.
