I posted here awhile back on a 1-2 shift problem with my newly rebuilt 200-4R. I was getting early WOT shifts (4000 RPM) & some 1-2 cut-loose. Bruce answered my post offering to help. I contacted him by phone @ Performance Trans & after several phone calls we got this thing kick'n butt. After changing out the valve body & governor mods, I got the early shift problem solved, but the 1-2 cut-loose was not solved until I removed the stock pan & installed the PTS Xtreme shallow pan kit. This bottom feed pan & filter kit really made a difference on how the trans behaves & was well worth the money spent. Looks bitch'n too! Now my manual shifts are quick & firm w/ absolutely no cut-loose. Most important is the FACT the he helped me out with a trans that was not his or purchased from him. This guy deserves honorable mention for spending his time & effort.
