Default Trans/Converter issue?

I've got one of the Circle D 2800-3200 whatever converters in my 2014. It's got ~15,000 miles on it at this point, gets driven like a granny most of the time. I checked the brake stall on it a few different times and it was always ~2,250-2,500, checked it tonight just dickin off and it's down around 1,600 same settings. ( and more power now probably too. ) It still flashes about like it always has, but it has also started doing this low speed "buck" at ~20mph right at the up shift, almost like it's trying to lock/unlock and it's done it at ~40 at the shift there too.

Anyone ever had any of these "symptoms" or have any insight? Am I just being paranoid when there's nothing to worry about and over thinking the situation, which I'm prone to do.

what'cha got fellas?

Im not sure what you mean by buck but my stock everything 2014 now at 33k miles, has dose a strange thing when coasting at low speeds since day 1.

anywhere between 10 and 50mph, when coasting then applying a little bit of gas I'll get a good clunk coming form the driveline, like there was some slack that was taken up when the engine goes from being parasitic to applying force.

It almost feels like a down shift...

Another thing I've noticed is the throttle response isn't worth a **** lately. Going to look at the tune, maybe get it down to Chuck in Houston for a tune if I can't get it to my liking.

Mine does it from 15-20mph, I run a 3600 circle D multi disk and only happens in deceleration. Why drive all the why to Houston when AMP is in your area?

It "watched" it today and it does it just as I roll out of the throttle, it almost feels like engine braking but it shouldn't be engine braking, and it only does it for a split second.

I've been really impressed with what Chuck has been doing with the DI engines to be honest, and I'll be down there anyways with racing a couple times between now and the end of the year. Prt of it is Sam's price, I know he's good, and believe me I know you get what you pay for, but he price gouges just because he can based on his reputation. That rubs me the wrong way...
