new pro tc installed today and in lock up started shuttering does line pressure need to be increased and if so to what press, do i need to change the valvle body, it seems stock vb is no diff from aftermarket vb just shift kit is added to after market vb thanx

 

can anyone help

 

An aftermarket vb is a stock vb with a shift kit, but every vendor adds their own experience and secrets to it. If line pressure hasn't been increased, you can turn the screw 1-2 turns.

 

wow thanks brother i really appreciate the fback, i always thought thats why most tranny guys just build thier own vb, the prob wasnt shifting, felt like the tc in lock up was shuttering and i didnt wanna drive right throught it, what should the line press be on a rb trans with pro tc, any idea

 

With a pressure gauge at the port on the passenger side of the tranny, pressure should be 55-65 psi at idle and 64-72 psi in Drive with TC locked at about 1900 rpms. Here's instructions on how to remove and install the VB as well as proper pressures:
