I posted this once before.
The biggest problems originally was that the computer would try to make shifts imperceptible, and it did this by trying to hold one gear while engageing the next, basically the oposite of a shift flare, this put so much stress on internall componets, that is why early ones failed so often.


*****umm don't all tranny do this? that is why when people install a shift kit, you get slammed into the seat, due to the instant gear change. most people don't want to feal the shifts.


Also early ones had problems with clogged coolers and burned themselves out, or wrong fluid was used.


**** wrong fluid well duh!!!


From what I have read forcing firmer shifts is acctually better for it, because it doesn't try to hold one gear and engage the next as severly, it is forced to make a quicker shift with less gear holding overlap.



****** exactly a firm shift is better for the tranny...
