Due to my background I am extremely observant while driving my car. Recently noticed a very slight delay in my 2-3 shift. At normal speeds most would not even notice this, but I did.
I also believe in being proactive rather than waiting. So I saw my German trans guy and we drove around with the scan tool for a while. The diagnosis was worn clutches on 3, the trans had the pressure jacked to the limit trying to complete the shift quickly.
So I got a rebuild. But no ordinary one. My trans guy is an old E55 owner who I met at the strip! I got EVERYTHING he knew in my slushbox. From valve body updates to bending the pump ears down, every trick he knew. All friction parts replaced with top quality aftermarket stuff. Too much to even list.
Then I topped it off with a Paramount Performance 3400 rpm stall converter. Note that this trans has infinitely variable lockup in 2-5, so there's no slip. Just smooth luxury car responses until you hit the pedal.
Wow. This converter is unlike any I have ever had from Protorque, TCI, B&M, etc. Even my wife approves, as the car still slurs around town at 1500-2000 rpm just like stock...
