bullydog and line pressure question.
is it possible to up line pressure with a bullydog triple? and if so how do you do it and is it safe to do it with a transgo shift kit installed?

Unfortunately no. Our Trannys are not computer controlled like other newer ones. The line pressures are not controlled by the computer. You'll need a custom valve body or "shift kit" to change them.

It is very easy on an 04 to up the line pressure by dropping the transmission pan and turning the line pressure adjustment screw. One turn in is approx. 3psi. However the Trans-go kit already raises pressure. Too much pressure will warp and/or crack the valve body.

Billm2004: I read somewhere the trans-go kit pressure is 150-190 psi range. Most tranny gurus say 180-190 psi is max. Pressure is measured with transmission in drive with torque converter locked @ 1800-1900 rpm.
Several guys have complained that the shift quality is dissapointing on the trans-go kit. Can you stand a re-do? My transmission shifts wonderful, a nice bump gear to gear, becoming more solid with more loud peddle.
Do a search under RonP and sonnax for parts needed, or PM me your e-mail address, I will send you the info plus a PDF file on valve body adjustment.

Yes I rec'd your PM.
I sent you two attachments and an e-mail.
Let me know if you did not receive them.
Contact me with any questions. OK?
Building a valve body is not for the faint of heart!
