A/T, UP/Grd Valve Bdy, cmtr unhappy (FI) *+!
05, cpe, a/t.
Normal mods-intake...exhaust...plenum...all is happy.
6500 miles added a JWT (TT) kit and car (a/t shifting) is not happy. First week intentional very "easy driving". The next week during "normal" driving a serious (unsafe) condition manifested...even the "Limp Mode" activated twice.
During moderate to heavy acceleration the a/t hesitates, boggs down, stalls for 1/2 to 3 seconds during every shift! This is sometimes pronounced enough to lurch one forward in one's seat. (During these moments the car is in transmission "never, never" land???)
This "problem" occurs when the car is acceleration and shifting up to a "higher gear"...2-3-4...every gear...weather the RPM is at 4000 or redline.
I have a "conservative" 330 WHP.
Thanks

You need a VB to shift faster. I suggest the FI vb or the SGP vb. The stillen vb doesn't shift fast enough for me, but I just installed a grounding kit and the shifts are a little faster now. I never go WOT in D mode save it for MM. I tried it once in D at the track and my car wouldn't shift from 2-3 without bouncing off the rev limiter.

Never heard of your VB ugrade. Did they do any drilling on it? Raise the line pressures?
WOT = Wide Out [or Open] Throttle.
Does your shop do alot of work on the VQ35 engines? They can be alittle tricky, so usually people stick to the main shops across the country.
Did you add the turbo and the VB at the same time? I would let them swap the stock one in and see how it runs, even with the new solenoids on the old you may not want it back... its probably had its share of wear and tear since its messing up. Also, if the long pauses you said it has in the 1st post ("heavy acceleration the a/t hesitates, boggs down, stalls for 1/2 to 3 seconds during every shift")- if the tranny is slipping that whole time your clutches aren't doing too well at this point... I'd try everything to keep the new tranny they give you and tell them to fix the old one themselves. You're kind of in a sticky spot. Just don't get screwed!

The shifts (when they work) are very firm which I like so I assume the line pressures have been raised considerably. The JWT kit and the upgrd VB were installed simultaneously (unfortunately).
The car has been driven very little...maybe 400 miles since the kit was installed.
Got new "stock VB" and installed on car...the throttle would not respond at all. Removed and put "new" stock solenoids only back on the original VB and reinstalled...same problem...not throttle response. The car "electronics" do no like or are not compatable with the newer "stock" vb solenoids.
By the way on in manual shift from say 3rd to 4th under acceleration there is some "hesitation".
I may have already been scre......d, thanks again.
