After I installed my superchips microtuner the tranny seems to shift alot harder.It will now slide sideways when it shifts to second.I installed a tranny cooler to help keep it cool.Does anybody think that will hurt the transmission shifting that hard?
 
Hi there,
Your Supertuner raised your hydraulic line pressure within the transmission.
Not immediately, but over time, you will create problems with the input housing and the bearings in the oil pump body assembly.
It is the torque shock that creates the bearing wear.
I would NOT recommend this course of action. If a total shift kit was installed, it would shift the transmission differerently to give a firmer shift, not just raising the hydraulic fluid pressure.
Allthebest, c4c5
