FLT lvl5 question
Ive had my Lvl5 trans in the truck throughout the summer. I just put a new transcooler in the truck. I used some of the soft good year transmission cooler lines. How much pressure actually goes through the lines? Would I have been better off using fuel line since it is stiffer?
Also, the truck is now having issues shifting during a WOT run. When I checked the fluid its about half an inch above the marker on the dip stick. I assume this would cause my problem? It was shifting fine before I added the fluid.

Should see 100-120psi on converter lockup....if I remember right.
As far as the shifting problem, I wouldn't think a little extra fluid would do that but you never know, I'd call FLT and talk it over with them. They're always there to help whenever I have issues.

Over filling a trans is almost as bad as under filling it, although yours is not that much over. With your lvl 5 trans, your pressure is probably in the range or 200-240 depending on what they like to set them at. Personally I set my at around 235psi. I would make sure you don't have a kinked hose or a clogged cooler starving the trans of fluid.

I wouldn't use fuel lines either... I made that mistake went to autozone for more hose because I was installing a cooler and they told me yeah it'll work about a day later did a wot run from a stop light and tranny fluid went everywhere damn hose busted...
