Those of you having problems (I've honestly lost track of who has what problem) need to do some basic diagnostic work. First off, you need to know your fuel ratio, and running an aftermarket cam without a tune is not very smart. For an auto trans not shifting, you need to check out your vacuum system, as vacuum is a big part of what tells an auto trans when to shift.

The engine oil pressure has no relation to the fluid pressure in a transmission. They're two completely separate systems.

When I spoke with Ken at Delta he said the same thing that at WOT I don't have enough vacuum in the transmission. I visually checked all the vacuum lines and they look good.

I have contacted Hackish for the tune but he said to wait till he releases the software(still waiting). Ken mentioned that I can hook a vacuum canister but i don't know where since I don't see any vacuum lines going or coming from the transmission.

I'll see if I can pull a diagram of the vaccum system.

Question did you have the transmission cooler on before the cam?

Get a vacuum gauge. Hunting around and visually checking the lines isn't really going to help you, you need to see what your actual vacuum levels are.

hmmm now that's something to think about , maybe the increase in the trans coolers volume had a negitive effect on the vacuum.... ??

Ok an update with my Ralliart, I see Dacib still has some issues with the A/T. Sounds like some progress has been made?

With my car I have cleaned out my intake portion and ran seafoam everywhere. Along with an oil change. I must say it gave me some power again It also helped where I lost power around the 5,800 range. I know I lost power now, but its not as dramatic. Before I would feel the car nose dive, but now its like a bump of power loss. But its still something that we need corrected.
