modification removed and...

[steve smith]

last weekend i removed my ucp vak and wastegate stage 2 and more power!!! that because my auto tranny can not suport this power i think for i 5 speed its ok but for a auto[V] on the road its ok with all this modification but on the track [xx(]auto tranny is slipping when is shifting stage 1 is just the good set up with an auto tranny dont try to past that range and i know what im talkink about i lost a lot of money[V]

Auto should have no problem with S1 level. Did you do the quick learn when you installed the S1? Perhaps there is a problem with your tranny.

stage 1 is ok im just talking about with more modification than stage1 auto tranny can not follow that probably the reason mopar dont do the stage 2 for pt cruiser[xx(]

[steve smith]

my pt run perfect with just the stage 1 [8)]

My first reaction is to beef up the tranny with tommy's HD trans kit!!

Hmmm, well I've been running my setup for a while now. Maybe I got a factory freak but my tranny hasn't been slipping at all. Running stage 1 with the stage 2 WGA and the VAK kit UCP and CAI and a 2 stage boost controller with high boost holding at 18. No problems. You might want to consider that 2 stage. My first (low boost) stage I launch at only 10psi so i can get traction and I go easy on the torque converter and then once in 2nd i flip the switch for my added kick in the pants at 18psi. [8)] Plus keep tabs on your fluid. I installed a tranny temp guage and the higher the temps go, the sooner you need to replace the fluid. Living in ARizona, I have to change my fluid about every year and it keeps my tranny safe. so about every 12000 miles or so.[?]

This is a very good idea. I alway urge people to spend a little $$$ and keep fresh fluid in their auto trannies. The rate of breakdown of tranny fluid rises almost exponentially with an increase in fluid temp.
