Alright...the other day I was messing around with my radio and hit my shiftplus switch to "off" by accident. I went to go drive somewhere when I was done and it'd BARELY shift into gears..it was all lagged, it'd go to where it'd normally shift then back off a couple hundred RPM's then just ease into the gear. I noticed right away I had my ShiftPlus turned off but that's not good that it doesn't run like stock when it's turned off. I decided to see how the highway driving was so I hit the interstate and got it up to 80 (where it shifts into 3rd normally)...under WOT I got up to about 5800rpm's right at 80mph where it normally shifts...well it didnt shift at that..it just sat there, revved a little at 5800..dropped off about 500RPM's then caught 3rd. I called my buddy who's a mechanic and he said because the tranny is used to the added pressure of my B&M, when it's turned off the plates arent grabbing as hard. Kind of like holding a spring down for a long ass time constantly then letting it go, it doesnt go back to it's original length..it's a lil shorter. Does anyone know if this will wear off if I ever sell the car and remove the B&M? Like will it go back to the way it WAS after driving for a bit w/o the ShiftPlus? Cuz otherwise I'm gonna have to sell the car w/ it or else tell the person it has a slipping tranny <_< I would imagine similar "side effects" to the AutoTrans Int. and even the DHP PCM w/ the added line pressure. Also, I ONLY used the 1st setting of the B&M..never used the 2nd setting (after trying it once and hated it). Another thing I'm worried about is my tranny just getting used to the 1st setting of my B&M and getting broken in to that to where it is basically just performing like stock to where I'd have to switch it to the 2nd setting just to get what the 1st setting USED to give me. Grr...
