Well next round of attempts. Thought we had the fix again with a 40% torque management increase. Guess not, about 10 miles away had to turn back and return the G to the shop in 4th and under. Sad stories...

Just a few ideas: Ensure power from battery after ignition can measured at 12V. Another is that the solenoid resistance can be measured at 20-40 Ohms. A TCM reflash could be in order unless your build required something as a result of GTMs spec. Another idea is additional grounding from the transmission to the chasis.

Thanks for the input. I'm bringing it in this week again to have the issues checked out. Fingers crossed we find a quick fix and I can get back on the road/track.

Broken speed sensor discovered at Level 10, probably the fix as I looked it up. Fingers crossed that's all. Awaiting shipping back and reinstall.

Transmission shipped back and installed. Does great except when the shop gets on the throttle. Initial downshift is made but then another downshift happens and it is "jerky". I cannot catch a Fing break.

I'm thinking it may be because of the torque management tables through UpRev, but we shall see. I just want to drive my mini-zilla.

***Update***

She is on her way to NJ. Level 10 decided to have the whole car shipped out to properly diagnose everything (transmission/tune/electrical...) Stand up customer service from a great shop.

Fingers crossed blnewt. I guess I'm just trying to set the example haha. The old "learn from my mistakes". After the transmission is figured out comes the engine build.

Level 10 is trying to get the perfect tune for the G and will be using the tune as a base for FI VQs.

As this is being fixed I am ordering a couple of goodies to bring out a little more aggression in the G.
