First thing I would do is hook a pressure gauge up to read line pressure. This is the middle port on the passenger side, it comes out at an angle. you should have 55 or so stock and 75-80 with the kit. Then get back to us. Did you do anything else at the same time? ( I know of people who do several things from different kits thinking all are good. That is wrong, follow the kit exactly.!!

Which Trans-go kit did you use? Did the trans. shift good before the kit?

How many miles on it the one that crapped out ?
Did you install a resistor on the line up by the PCM < I'd have to dig out my old info to know which , to fool the PCM into think the line pressure is lower so the shift kit will actually work correctly ? I think your pressure should be higher than that , I have swapped VB's and seen over 150 psi, and higher, with the TV pushed full rearward.
A trans that is it's way south to begin with is only going to happen faster adding a shift kit , raising the line pressure should have firmed up the shifts, but you don't really have elevated line pressures by those readings ????
the front half of the trans is the same basically as a 727 , you need a couple of special tools for the OD section , you could just take the OD section to a trans shop and ask them to change out the OD clutches .

Yes, you need a resistor to trick the PCM when you do a shift kit, to trick the computer into seeing the "right" pressures. the 46RE is computer controlled, and the computer is a pain in the butt! Get ahold of Martin Saine, aka MSaine he had made a name for himself in the Dakota R/T community for building quality torque converters and bullet proof 46REs. He's a one man show though. sometimes slow on responding to emails, but always answers the phone when I've called. I can tell you he has good service and will take the time to answer your questions, even after he has your money and the parts have shipped. email: MSaine1213@AOL.comshop# 951-907-0434

I think the problem is that most kits don't mention the resistor, and most folks don't know about that trick.

Thanks 70 Cuda, I will try and get in touch with him. I wonder why my 99 didn't need a resistor to fool the PCM.
What are everyones thoughts on the check ball removal from the trans lines on these trucks? Are you able to flush the lines properly with the Trans out if the check ball is still installed?
Thanks
It's been about 10 years since went through that 46RE hop-up thingie and from what I remember not all of them need the resistor. My '98 doesn't and it will bark the tires when I accelerate hard. Sounds like you've got something else going on.
