1/2 through the break in period on the new transmission. Everything feels amazing. Transmission snaps into gears quickly and smoothly. Need to put another ~100 miles on it before I can open up again. Track sessions soon! Either this weekend or next week.

I'm getting there! It's so hard to not go WOT, especially with the cooler weather in San Antonio (it's boost season!!!)

Well, transmission is acting up again. Code that popped up is P0744, a Torque Converter Solenoid issue. RPMs shoot up high with no acceleration. Just when I thought I was gonna be back at it! Pretty frustrated, just want my car back in action.

Yeah, this year has been filled with set-backs. It blows. The Black Pearl will prevail though. There's too must invested to stop now. I'm going to keep pushing until I have a 600AWHP beast/mini-zilla.

People on FB were saying it could be a simple line pressure issue. I'm praying that is true. That way I can be backed on the road in days instead of weeks.

On a side note, anyone want to lend me a TT G or maybe a R35?

Sucks man. Having a highly modifies car sometimes just seems like a race to see if you can fix things faster than they break. :/

Yup, the trans has been an issue for a while now. After having the GTM "experience" and waiting months for parts and now little issues here and there.

Still awaiting diagnosis and fix. Been trying to corale cats with getting the local shop to talk to the tranmission shop.

Well, got it back Friday night after what seemed to be the fix. Traction Control turned off. Was driving well, delivering power to the ground nicely. Went home and was going to test it out on some closed roads. Drove out to top off on E85 and on the way to test/diagnostic it starts acting up again and P0744 has returned.

I limped her home and had a big glass of whiskey in the dark, trying to not sob/cry uncontrollably in the fetal position.

I cannot catch a break! Will be back in the shop soon.
