Sweet sounds easy enough! Thanks again Marty! It seemed like a lot of guys like to retain the stock TCU but I don’t really want to so that’s reassuring that you don’t use it.
It's not hard. I kept my original TCU harness ends, but don't run the factory TCU. I tapped into the wires needed, behind the connector and soldered in the needed wires.

I just ordered a smart 150 tcm so hopefully it isn’t a horribly complicated process to set up/tune, I know the wiring will be a little annoying but atleast I’ll have more control
Shifts with 100% line pressure are actually great, no clutches slipping, it's just jarring for most people. I'll take 100% full pressure with 160 auto trans temps for of clutch life over soft shifts and getting grilled by the trans builder.
Yeah those downshifts are brutal it quickly just drops 2 gears and sends me into the dash haha. I haven’t driven it much since I don’t want to hurt the new trans but it has done it twice, both times coming after I let off the throttle after doing...
You might need someone to look at your TCU board to see if you have any capacitor issues.The 2 trans Solenoid wires get told by the TCU which ones are on or off and the result is which gear you're in so something is telling them to drop into...
Hey guys,So I was just looking for some guidance as far as what you would do in my situation. I just put in a built auto (kiggly clutches, shift kit, pressure mods, welded diff, basic stuff) and precision 3800-4200 stall converter and now the...
I will add that if you did or do not flush out the transmission cooler lines really really well, you will continue to contaminate any new parts or new converters and transmissions that you install into that car or onto those cooler lines.
Absolutely forgot that. Great advice.Just buy a new trans cooler and lines tbh. Kits are inexpensive and it’s not worth risking a few stubborn pieces of metal being lodged that’ll ruin another good trans.
Thanks guys, i have another trans being built by Rix racing at the moment, just didn’t want the same thing to happen to that one because swapping these out is kind of a pain haha and I figured it had to be something I was doing wrong because I...
As me fioned above clean everything. Forget to clean the cooler as its gone. Like like oil coolers when a besring goes on you its a consumable so thrown away for a new one.Open up the valve body and clean the solenoids and every section inside...
If it has that much metal in it, it needs a rebuild because that metal is in literally every orifice and spot in the entire transmission. The clutches, on the bands, in the converter, in the pump, etc. so unfortunately that’s a wrap. At minimum...
Well I was unaware about the pilot bushing, mine would be missing now that I’m thinking of it, the block was a 7 bolt for a manual and none of the cranks or blocks I have in the garage have a pilot bushing either, so I’m guessing that would be my...
Hey guys, I’ve had three autos and different T/C’s in the car and have had the pan look like this 3 times all after a few months of driving, just by the looks, obviously it isn’t good, but the car doesn’t drive any different than normal. Just...
