the red lady will sit in the garage, and some of the mods will come off of her, but one day she will be alive again, the engine is still strong.

Fuck that. Sell it!! You have that GST coming to ya, why don't you just sell your GSX, drive the GST for a bit, then sell that too and buy a GSX with a manual instead of an auto! IDK if the TCUGO is sellable or not, but maybe that could go to?

How much is a dead non-running 99 GSK worth?

I say fix it and run it or fix it and sell it, or you'll just loose your ass otherwise!

Sorry to hear Tom. Yeah, if you want to do any racing in an A/T, I would highly recommend doing work to the tranny. I didn't even race my car that much, and by the time I was selling mine, the tranny was starting to have some issues.

Check out below what "Hugo" the ower of TCUGO says about this situation:

Hugo,


Did you see this thread yet man?

Tom already toasted his tranny out in 2 weeks using your TCUGO system?

Making us a bit nervous here man!

Any ideas?


Thanks....

"He doesn't have anything to do with the TCUGO for severals reasons:

I mimic the pressure signal EXACTLY like the stock TCU. So when you're shifting, it's like the stock TCU. Also he did mention he was using stage 3 which is putting MORE pressure during shift, so preventing clutch slippage, so more pressure mean less wear. That is for the shifting which happen not that often when you're driving around. As for gear control, it's just a 12 volts solenoid beeing controlled with a + or GND depending which gear is selected, again, like the stock TCU. People around here in Canada have been running the TCUGO for a long time in their car, so I'm not worried about that. And to be honest, it's not a 2 week usage of the TCUGO that will toasted it's tranny. For sure there was something before that.

I hope that will clear out some of your concern"

Well i have no choice but to change out the tranny, but the simple fact is its a complete annoyance because that car was my primary vehical. So now ill get the GST and eventually fix the GSX and either sell the GSX or just keep it and pay it off, i still owe like 9-10k on it so thats what really hurts.

This makes me think twice about modding a car I have a loan out on. Sucks to hear about the tranny, just switch it out and learn more about your car. Theres always a postive to come with a negative.

Hope it all works out in the long run.
