If you say Transmission.....
...I'ma punch you in the face.
Tune, leak, or transmission again?
It started slipping under heavy throttle. I checked my lines on the trans-cooler and one showed to be blowing fluid. Got it tightened up with a new clamp and tried it again. It's doing a little better but as you can see from the video something is messed up.
I didn't see any other leaks but I'll check again. Could it be something in the tune?
What can I log to see what it's trying to do compared to what it's doing?

Shifts great under normal conditions. fluid looks good.
I'ma try to do some logging later and see if the temp is still where it should be.
Edit: it was shifting at about 40. Notice in the video it gets to 40 and then drops down to 35 while trying to shift.

It does look like its doing a little slide bump into 2nd could be a sign the band is burned. You mentioned it was leaking if it was very low at all for any period of time this could be the reason.

it had a bit too much fluid. the leakage put it level. I put the new converter in when I noticed the problem and the level was good. I'll double check the level again but I fear it is in fact the band.
Edit. Completely freaking sucks since I just had it refreshed and installed like a month ago.

After I get finished watching my nephew I'ma go double check my lines and fluid level. Then i'm going for a cruise and monitoring the temps. Is there anything you would recommend I log in an attempt to NOT have to crack it open again?
Maybe a servo or something?
When it started doing this I checked the fluid and it was spot on. Temps before the cooler where 190-200 220 max. After the cooler it never got above 165 that I saw.
I had a HELL of a deal lined up on a 6.0 but it's looking like i'll have to back out of the deal.
