Banks TransCommand
Has anyone installed a TransCommand by Banks Power? See http://www.bankspower.com/GBford.html for more information.
Apparently this module plugs directly into the E40D transmission using an OEM style plug. The unit looks to be a box of electronics which claims to modify the shift firmness by increasing fliud circuit pressure proportional to load. The heavier the load, the firmer the shift. They claim that this in turn reduces frictional wear, heat build-up and the vehicle becomes easier to drive.
I'd like for my E40D to shift a bit better, expecially when I stomp on it. At present, it hesitates and even feels like it's slipping at times.
Anyone have any comments on this unit?
