Question Funky trans shifting...

In the past 36 hours i have noticed that my 2-3 shift is taking longer to shift, but when it does shift it still grabs hard. It seems like its taking too long to switch gears. Anyone have an idea of whats going on. Is it time for my new trans now? My bully dog hardly ever sees over tow mode, but once a week i do 1/8 mile drag it in the performance 1 setting and i have once raced in extreme mode.

Im looking forward to a new trans, but i would really like to make my stocker last as long as possible. If its going out then ok, but if its not, what could be wrong?

If you have low end power turned on with the Bullydog, turn it off. I was able to nurse a weak tranny for 7,000 miles after mine started to do that same thing. since I have had my Tranny done I still don't use the low end option on the bully dog. its too much power when your line pressure is low on the tranny. According to the guy that did my trans, its almost impossible to make one last long with that setting if the person driving it is not keeping a foot in the peddle to keep the line pressure up. I guess in that case you do more damage if your not driving it hard.
