The note sounds like a good idea I would just let them know it was coming before I took it.

It just sketches me out that I dropped the truck off with one request, and that was to eliminate the overdrive skip. There are a lot of other parts that bothered me, but I was just trying to make the task as simple and consolidated as possible, and they failed to even do that.

I hate that I said it was good. God knows why I said that. I wasn't satisfied at all. It cut out at 90mph on me, wouldn't shift out of 2nd gear at full throttle, and the skip was still there, I was shocked. The only thing they did was eliminate the first to second gear clunk.

All they did was a big sea-saw effect. Got rid of a couple of bad things in return for two new bad things. In overdrive if I'm going up a hill, the rpms just keep bobbing up and down. It's terrible. It's cutting out at WOT. Skip in overdrive is there. I can't win with this transmission.

Have you tried the TV cable adjustment? I just did mine and it made a huge difference.

Anybody have a clue what this means? Once the truck goes past above 35mph, the pedal becomes incredibly sensitive. Every bump I hit makes the rpms bounce up because my foot will hit the pedal. It's abnormally sensitive, something is wrong..
