A scanner and a CVI count normally will show you of its clutches that are worn out. That 734 code is deff bad news though.

 

[charged392]

I have had good luck with mine but I also do absolutely no highway passing. I also do no highway on ramp accel. I punch it from a dig only or manually in 2nd and shift to third I do not ever go into 4th gear at wot.

 

[charged392]

I'm am currently on the 13th trans been in there for 3yrs now I think with about 100 track passes by now and likely twice that in street test runs.

You can have fun you just have to manually out it into 2nd and wait for the double kick down. Once fully in second your good to go. It takes some getting use to thats for sure. Once this trans goes I'm swapping to 4l80 with a brake and full manual valve body I will go faster lol.

 

[charged392]

There's one out there already and it's fast! Really fast too! Waiting on track times I think before much more is said though!

 

[charged392]

You can swap the trans to a manual in the 2005 and there is a PID in the CMR where I can select manual or auto trans and basically turn the tcm off this disables the trans altogether it will be limp mode of you try and drive it useless. If that won't work I know for a fact that Diablo can flash my pcm to a manual and be done it has been done already by them!

 

[charged392]

It can be programmed I know that already

 

[charged392]

that's some good info and somewhat a cheap route with all that being reused. the 3.0 will help the launch off the line 1st gear doesn't really matter anyway lol. whats the max hp that can hold on too. this seems to be a way cheaper option than the 4l80 route for sure. is there a trans brake option?

 

[charged392]

Yeah good luck Denny is horrible with communication. Call him or drive there best bet sadly.

 

[charged392]

It very well could be the pcm. You need to get to the bottom of the basically battery disconnect effect you keep getting after highway trips first though.

 

[charged392]

I say drive it till it breaks sir. Only real way to tell a 545 is on the way out is with cvi #s if they are high she going dead

 

[charged392]

Those numbers look like about half way worn out maybe a little less. I would say your good to go for a bit just drive it like we suggested and it will live longer.

 

[charged392]

Yours was a little over half by the numbers I believe and Stu a tad under that.

 

[charged392]

How many times do you pass people at 45 though lol

 

[charged392]

Lol it's amazing what a good tune will do for yah!

 

[charged392]

Yes this is true Gregg! Make sure the tunes are made off that pcm backup file. It won't take but a second to swap the old tune into the new backup file jay can make quick work of that for you.

 

[charged392]

Should only trying will tell some 2005 don't like to tcm tune either it's really weird

 

[charged392]

Hard to say what's actually going on there that's for sure.

 

[charged392]

It's a good bet that with that p0734 code the trans is definitely about done now esp of its limping every time now.

 

[charged392]

46rh and done practically bolts in and you can beat it to death!

 

[charged392]

46/518 and done practically bolts rite in for yah no electronics needed. Get a full manual valve body and it's even easier
