As some of you might have read. My tranny failed on friday. Usually I would just deal and get a replacement but i do have some unrest. As of right now, im wondering if the failure is somethig that I have done. Basically I was running through the gears and on the 3-->4 gear change it made a loud bang and hit the rev limiter. I pulled over and reflashed back to stock. Problem was still there, then i lost 1st gear but only in overdrive, once i hit the overdrive button to take it out of OD it drives like normal. Basic mods are 4.10's, full exhaust and a 2lb lower.
The truck has 53K on it, previous owner took good care of it, and I flushed the trans fluid + torque converter with some valvoline dex 3 while also installing a FTVB and moroso trans pan. Since the valve body it has always shifted hard, especially on the 3-->4 gear change. I have a habbit of running it through the gears at least a few times a week. All has been well till friday when i got the livewire. I remember reading about people saying not to increase line pressure with a FTVB so I made sure not to modify that in the tune, I did however change the shift points another 2mph on some of the gears. I also lowered the rev limited from 6K to 5800rpm. My question is... did anything I do with the livewire cause this transmission to fail or shift incorrectly? I also read somewhere that the 2001 4r100 (white tag) has internal issues or something?
Any help is appriciated. Going to make a few calls and see what I can come up with.
Thanks,
Storm
