Not unless you drop a bundle on a trans and even then you better be careful with or BOOM!

REVO-TNT has the Shift Defuel Off feature.

If you get your bad tranny built you will be much better off. Probably wont go BOOM

You do realize a $7k trans is not safe on boosted launches or full power shifts with the defuel off?

Just punching the throttle is not going to hurt it, maybe, but on a shift it is going to rough on it. The biggest problem on the shift points is once the slip is fixed there is no give. What frequently happens is the case twists and breaks the VB or even the case.

I have a BD trans with the triple disc torque converter, billet input and BD flex plate, is it safe to say just leave it alone?

Yep. The shift defuel off is not gaining you anything except destruction unless your competition racing. Then, you figure on tearing things up and rebuilding.
