Can't offer much advice other than to say that if I was having tranny problems after a supercharger installation, the absolute last place I would take it is AAMCO. That's like taking a Ferrari to Walmart for an oil change.

Tuning issue is what I would guess, I would find a reputable shop in your area that tunes vehicles (any shop that tunes F-Body's, Corvettes etc...) on a chassis dyno. You will not be able to get on the dyno with your rig but a competent tuner using software such as HP Tuners should be able to play with your shift points and rev limiter to eliminate this problem.

I agree 100%..... stay the hell away from AAMCO, you will be sorry you even walked through the door.

from my experiance, you will have to rebuild the whole trans with better parts.

i went thru 3 trans after my SC install. but got it right after i found some one to rebuild with all of the best parts they could find for the trans.

it only cost around 1200 for the rebuild and i have pounded on the trans for the last 25000 miles and no problems

Have you tried to use the programmer that came with the S.C. and reinstall your settings??

I have the Mag charger and I'm running 8lbs of boost. I am hard on my tranny but have never had a problem. Sounds like a tuning issue to me...

Got an update, 2nd gear is gone! The shop said that the Band has broken for second gear. They are going to have to open up the tranny to see how bad it is. Good news is that the tranny fluid is still red.

It would be in your best interest to find someone to build your transmission to handle the added power, in my experience the stock trans does not hold up unless you drive it easy. Basically you have upgraded to a performace engine and have it mated to a stock transmission making that your weak link(pretty expensive weak link). How many race cars ya see running a stock transmission?
