I did have a valve body issue with 1 out of 10 with a flair up. 10 years ago dave did have a issue. I took his valve body and installed it in my race car and it did have a flair up in 3rd. I grab a vb off the shelf and install it in my car. No flair up. Same vb. Same cnc program. So the issue was not in all the vbs but still there.

I did update the vb ( 10 years ago ) and if any one with my vb that bought the vb from me. I will up date the vb for free. If you bought the vb second hand or used from some one, the update is 30 bucks. This update is for a slight flair up into 3rd. And that's it.

A100 is my internet stalker.

Ok, I readjusted the front band which did seem like it was way out(alot of turns). Readjusted the the shift cable which was out of adjustment a bit(may not of been pushing lever enough for for 3rd). Went for a ride today. Run it up to 7000 wot and shifted into 3rd and NO FLARE UP. Did this 2 times and no flare ups. So i will leave this Cope vb in for now and see how it goes. No flare up into 3rd but it does seem soft going it.

That was a fun ride I bet.

Fun for sure but little crazy around here. not too far out of the city and wot into 3rd is around 80 or 90mph. A bit over the limit anyway.

If it's soft now it my have hurt itself from being misadjusted.

I think this is where a trans temp gauge will help slippage is heat

I use a trans temp gauge. its never been over 185* with this trans.
