Message: [QUOTE="lxcoupe, post: 1117483, member: 10731"] John the owner at Suncoast says, (and I quote), "that's a sure way to burn out your transmission fast." He also said "if it behooves you, you might consider installing a new Ford OEM direct drive solenoid." My good buddy has about 10k on his Suncoast trans, he makes 603 to the wheels on fuel, and runs 12.20 on a 100 shot. He decided to have the trans shop who built his trans (Quin Trans in Lompoc, CA) reuse the Go-Go solenoid when they built his trans using the Iron Pac 3 kit (which includes valve body upgrades). His trans shifts REAL nice and firm, if he goes WOT on the freeway, it will downshift and chirp the 35's. He also selected to use the Ford trans fluid in his build. When I had my trans built, I decided to go with Suncoast's recommendation to run regular mineral based Dexron-Mercon 3 fluid, and I reinstalled my stock trans solenoid. My question is, who is running the Go-Go or similar trans solenoid with their built trans (Suncoast or other)? [/QUOTE]
