I know there are only a few of you but have any of you experienced EXTREMELY hard shifting??
Just yesterday the car shifted so hard it made my Bose deck skip....I dont think thats normal
and when guys let off the gas do you feel the downshift?
P.S. this is only at 1/2 or less throttle...at full throttle I can barely detect any shifting

Is your check engine light on? My shifted hard for a day and then the check engine light came on. Pulled the code and it had something to do with the tranny solenoids. Anyway, it turned out to be something small. The dropping resistor went bad and it caused full line pressure.

Yah Ive been driving like this for freaking 2 months and L10 told me it was a characteristic of their tranny's....my @$$
so what did you do to get it fixed?...did the dealer just pop in a new one or did you do it yourself?

does anyone know if it is possible at all to control line pressure if the dropping resistor is fried?
I just emailed Level 10 and they told me they have a "new product" which controls that

thanks...but i emailed them saying that one of the causes for my shifts may have been a bad dropping resistor...in which case ive been shifting at full line pressure for what..2-3 months...that means ive had a faulty tranny from the beginning and i asked them if my parts would be replaced
do you guys think i should pursue new gears and bands from L10?

you can buy a potentiomenter and hook it up in place of the dropping resistor. The potentiometer will allow you to adjust the resistance and control the line pressure somewhat. I dont know offhand what the resistance of the stock dropping resistor is though. Also, make sure the potentiometer can handle enough power. You don't want it to catch fire....

Before any of you start swapping out resistors, or puttin potentiometers in the circuit, take this advice.
There was a person on this board that did this swap (to play with line pressure) and the potentiometer burned up, If I recall correctly, it almost caught on fire. Be careful when playing with electronics.

It was mzmtg. He was using a low wattage pot.
