No problems with my shifts. Maybe explain the issue a little better and maybe Cody will chime in. I guess you can say what ever you want on the outlawpsd.com. Who owns that site? The black background makes it kind of hard to read.

By "fighting" I meant fighting with whether I want to send it back to have it fixed.

What happens is when it goes to shift (or perhaps its the TC.. idk) it feels like it engages a clutch and waits to catch the next gear. It takes about .5-1 second and then the next gear will engage, but when it catches it kicks.

I will try to get a video of it.

I think I know what you're talking about. It's like the transmissions has stored up all the extra power from the engine, then slams into gear? That's the way my stock transmission acted with the TS tunes before I burned it up and upgraded it. The stock torque converter hardly covers stock engine output, IIRC.

Always look forward to your videos...

Kinda does sound like you are feeling the TC attempting to lock. If so, I believe that can be addressed in the calibrations.
Maybe Cody will see this thread and offer up his thoughts...
If possible, perhaps you could begin recording from a dead stop and narrate at each shift point while guesstimating how much throttle you have into it. (might help with the solution finding process...)

I will try to do that. It doesnt ALWAYS do it so I have to drive around trying to get it to do it so I can try to narrow down when it happens.

I dont think the trans or TC is bad, they were rebuilt like 20k miles ago.

I don't think the trans is bad either. However, you bring up a good point. When the trans was rebuilt, did it receive any modifications? Something simple like drilling out a few holes in the VB plate would make a difference in line pressure and potentially cause the symptom you are describing.

My transmissions will slam into gear if I make it downshift by getting on it, then backing out of the accelerator just before it shifts.

Ruh Roh. I never asked. It was about 2 weeks before I bought the truck

I will go to the shop and ask. They are a very reputable transmission specialty shop around these parts.

I have chirped the tires at WOT just from shifting...
