I would go ahead with the install.... I feel like I am just one bad apple. I have heard too many good about the gears to say otherwise.

Who put your gears in because theres no ****in way that if you have 4.10's you can't spin the tires, are your shifts nice and firm and do they jerk you a bit when it does shift!!!!!

What do you mean by "I would have to say driver then."

BTW: I have a tune its predator basic diablo tune. it is suprisingly aggressive.. so my tires chrip going into second and sometimes third.

the other thing i think may be happening is the torque converter is slipping.. the only reason i say this is because i get good acceleration from about 40+ mph. Any way to tune it so it locks up sooner?

-anyone else think this is a possibility?

If your tuner lets you change your shift points and shift firmness and just play around with that!!!!
