Buying a used FTVB??

Hey guys, anything wrong with buying a used FTVB? Can someone screw these up? They really don't "wear out" do they?

If there is anything wrong with it, or even if you just want to be sure, send it here and I'll swap you for a new one.

No one, absolutly no one but Greg would offer such a trade. He damn sure will not make any money at all on this deal. In fact he will lose on the deal! This is the best vendor we have......bar none!

Now THAT is what I call customer service. Try getting any other vendor to match that policy.

Welcome Back Gregg!

Still waiting for more details about the Factory Tech Race day. I've had your ftvb for 2 years now and it was the BEST mod I've ever done.
I look forward to meeting you at the race

The race is going to happen, I've been pretty overwhelmed with the response. For the sake of my sanity, I'm trying to keep all the discussion about it at www.lightningrodder.com and the guys there will be handling the advance registrations for me as well. We look forward to a great weekend of racing.
I want to do at least one class of "run what you brung" open to everyone with the tree that staggers the start, so the guy with the 9 second Mustang can line up against a bone stock L and see who wins. It's not pure racing in my mind (I have an aversion ot the races where the fastest time wins), but it does make it as much skill of the driver as it is the car.

Greg,

I need your advice please. I have a FTVB in my L and it recently started shifting @~5200 rpm rather than the 5800 to 6000 rpm I have programmed via SCT chip. The early shifts are definitely early and NOT a tach problem.

Otherwise,the tranny is doing great and shifts are firm, just early; is there anything in valve body or tranny that would cause this. I have changed chip programming several times since the problem developed to no avail. PCM is relatively new/reman unit, but has been working fine.

Shifts are commanded by the PCM so an early shift cannot really be in the tranny itself. A late shift is often the clutches slipping, but an early has to be a PCM problem.

Hope this helps,

G
