Default Level 2 Performabuilt 4l60e

just got my Level 2 Performabuilt 4l60e installed, so far im very happy (only took a drive about 15 miles)... i hope this time it will hold longer... shift from 1 to second is firm but was harder with my stock 4l60e, transgo shift kit and corvette servo... u think thats normal?

my 1-2 shift was hard too, i tuned it a little softer, but frank told me if i still don't like it i could swap in the vette servo instead of the billet super servo for a little less harshness, and have no ill effects on reliability or power capability.

your gears shouldnt SLAM. a quick firm shift is all you want. slamming gears is where you start breaking hard parts.
