Sonnex only affects shifts at WOT. Good luck. Hope it's something simple.

 

that sucks, hope it isn't too major of a problem!

 

Been there before 12 times myself hopefully yours is a simple fix

 

Give Denny a call..........

 

I took the truck to my transmission guy to have him pull the actual code instead of the general P0700 and see what's wrong. I'm sure I'll be talking to Denny tomorrow as well.

 

:facepalm: good luck.

 

I'm waiting for an email back for Denny and the gang. See if he'll sell me the Clutch Packs for the Stage III. :cry2:

Sorry for your tranny James.

 

Bill you burn up the clutches already

You could just give red eagle a call they have the clutches they use single sided clutches so you can add more in there

 

Dang Bill. Sorry about the cluthces burning up. The Space Coast is going to be running rampant with *ord's and *hevy's with the two Hemi's being down. We got to get one up and going to keep them all in check.

Just to keep everyone up to par, after talking to Denny he wants the tranny back to look and see what happened. From what it looks like, it could've been caused a pressure issuse somewhere in the system. The codes were;
P0868 Line Pressure Low Fault
P0735 Gear Ratio Error in 4th Prime
P0934 Pressure Sensor Low
P0734 Gear Ratio Error In Fouth
P1790 Fault Immediately After A Shift

As soon as the tranny is pulled it'll be on its way back to Denny. Keeping my fingers crossed, the truck won't be down for to long.:sad:

Their having some crazy weather up there. I'm sure it's going to take longer than you would like.:blink:

 

........:sad:

All of you are running too much hp/tq. You need to tune them down.:whistling::devil::brows:

Was actually thinking of sending Denny my stock 03 trans for another stage III trans on hand. Now, not to sure about that........ It might be time to look into a different trans.:blink:

 

Seems people have been having pretty good luck with L&M. His shop truck is a twin turbo 4th gen.

 

L&M??

 

He goes by MGH on other forums. Builds them out of L&M Customs in Delaware.

 

I'm sticking with the Sharadon trans for now until it goes then a 4l80 manual valve body or a 727/od

 

How many miles was that James?

 

I just hooked up with Extreme Overdrive in Jax
Very reasonable to build up a 545 with better clutches
And he warranties anything he puts in.

 

I give him 4 failures before he stops warrantying dodge trannys

 

He must not know about the kickdown nono anyone with power can toast a trans very quickly

 

:greetings10:

Damn those freeway on ramps. :icon_nono:

 

Somebody needs to save up, bite the bullet and put a 727/4l80e in already

 

Anyone have 3k for me I will do a 727 swap tomm just don't have the coin right now Annabelle taking it all :thumb:

 

For some reason, my truck wont shift into 4th without the od on at the track. It looks like Bills truck shifts into 4th on his vids. I'm wondering if that's what is causing the problems with at least Bills trans?????

What engine rpm does the trans go from low to high line pressure?

 

Line pressure is not really related to rpm as much as throttle position and map single (load %)

Does sound like bills truck hits 4 in most vids gotta drop it down and hold third gear for the runs should be right around 6500 thru the traps in third with the slicks maybe tickling 7k for a brief second otherwise those clutches get burned up even thou its brief it does damage quickly

 

Line pressure is not really related to rpm as much as throttle position and map single (load %)

So, how fast does the line pressure build up when you go from idle to wot?

The reason I ask this question is maybe there needs to be a delay in serious power until the line pressure is up........ Maybe a pressure sensor for a boost delay switch or bypass valve?

Humm....

 

What's the kick down nono Keith?

 

Kick down meaning downshifting from od when passing

I've deff changed my driving habits after reading about the 545

Bill do you not column back to 2nd when making a pass? Tho I'd imagine with your mph at the back end you will have to go to 4th

 

My fourth gear thru the traps is the 4.56 gears and the wee little 28 inch tall drag slicks combination. :sad:

I haven't worked up the nerve to pull it down into second gear going 100 plus miles per hour.

 

Your a 2005 the comp knows its not safe so it just holds 3rd I do it every run when you pull it down make sure your above 4600rpm I personally have never done it sooner

The kickdown nono is a lovely deal dodge thougt was smart for a stock truck yes but add a tuner and some other bolt ons and your intue slip power range

Basically the trans has 5 forward gears with the lockup and 2 secondary gears for passing 1-3 can hold a ton of power 4/5 cannot there secondary clutch pack the sister stack is to thin (not enough clutches) and when you go to pass someone on the road and it kicks down 90% of the time it's not to a standard gear it's usually to a prime gear which is 2c/4c/or l/r clutches

2c/4c are part of the main up shift program minus the l/r when it downshifts the low reverse engages with the c packs and it can hold alot of power but the 2c/4c cannot hence the slip and burnt gears

On the up shift you have 2c/4c sistering the main drive inside the trans which holds all the power if that makes any sense

 

I've done it as well bill. Granted I'm not nearly making as much power as you or Keith but I've had my fair shares of putting it in 2 at 90ish
