Jeffs VB issue
I just installed the VB and ran it on the highway a couple of times and noticed the shifting but i have 1 issue. I redline at around 85 and i got the code for torque converter solenoid (po744). Anybody know what the issue is or if im missing something?

I know this is exactly what happend to my old tranny, I lost the Reverse and the codes I got were a p0744 s/v torque converter not locking up. I took out the VB did a cleaning and a rebuild and of course I had to get the new solinoid packs to make the car run like it did in drive but no reverse and the new packs took care of the problem and the car had no codes the car was shifting and driving good again.

Well its over, trans is messed up. I talked to Jeff yesterday and he said we should have took the old VB out in neutrel and installed. Now I have to do a rebuild and hope that this trans shop can save the VB. Yes I redlined at 85mph because I didn't have 3rd or 4th gear.

Whats VB?
I know with the JWT u can deactivate the rev limiter. But dang, as we all know there is a point where the engine is bein overtaxed.
Its called a RED line for a reason, u know red as in stop lol
Besides dont our cars make all its power at 5k rpm???

Jesus man, thought you would have known more than that being that you've been around long enough. You must just post *****.
Point 1: MEVI'd/00VI's cars make usable power to 7-7.2k
Point 2: It does not deactivate it, now that would be less than smart. JWT sets it at 7000, or, your choice, mine was 7200 like 85% of the people on here, when at the time, was the calculated # for people w/ MEVI's.

I told him it was hard for me to get it out of park and it felt like something popped when I did, so he said I might have bent the main valve. That's just 1 of many things that could have been wrong

Did you follow the VB write-up properly?

So i found out that i had issues with the trans before i installed the VB which inhanced them. The tran shop said some of the bolts was installed in the wrong places and the trans was so burnt that the inner shell was blue. All i n all for a new trans $1500

1,500???? just swap a used 1 in there for like 8-900, i paid 1,000 3 years ago and thats because it had low miles on it. they dont last man. speaking from personal expierience myself.
