Motor is already wore smooth out. lol

I'm guessing it was a combination of the weather and a much different torque converter. I'm on the 4th one in 26 passes.

Well the goal for this one was actually to loosen it up for the very reason you posted. However, it didn't change much if at all. It actually got worse on the shift and 2% looser on the top in hi gear.

We started throwing power at it and it started coming around, so I'm gonna make some other changes and stick with it for the time being to see what it does.

Fast forward to 7:06 in this vid and you can get the ride along on the 8.99 pass.
