Trans problems and evo tuners

Yep I got to edit my post.
Can't do it on my mobile.
But the tranny is a 4R75E.
Factory Tech has some good prices also.

Well found out today that I had burned up my clutch in reverse.
I found that the reverse gear is the worst gear to give gas to so basically when I had gotten stuck in the snow drift and backed out I tried keeping the rpm up so the clutches would lock up and well obviously the clutches don't lockup too well since it's third gear for reverse so I basically burnt up the reverse gear.

I found the reasoning that it didn't mess up till the next day, I guess since the clutches were almost gone when it went to engage it didn't engage so it kept putting pressure to the clutches till it basically just bound up and was stuck in third gear then when I went to drive down the highway and the trans fault light came on it had tried to shift into the other gears and basically blew up the clutch packs since third gear was jammed.

So all in all it was an $1800 lesson learned don't give it too much gumption in reverse instead just crawl out and go easy on it vs. trying to keep the clutches locked up and since they don't lock up end up burning them out ha.

He put the kolene steel clutches in it since the clutches were the weak point in the tranny (among all the normal updates to the transmission) I'm also buying the extended warranty for the transmission just in case anything else happens.

So this ones filed in operator error, not programmer error.

I sympathise with you!!!
Some of the best lessons learned are the ones that are the hardest on the pocket book.
You did the upgrades so you should be good to go for a long time.
