Wow. I'm disappointed to hear the transmission is not up to task and I'm sure you're beside yourself about it after spending the time and money. I'm sure it's hardly any consolation, but I would gone the same route - leveraging Powerdynamix for a build if keeping the stock transmission also. Just surprised and disappointed here for you. I hope Jeff takes care of you. Don't blame you for heading toward the manual swap at this point, but hate to hear such poor results with the built auto.
I still plan to discuss what happened with him if he ever answers the phone. He's pretty tough to get a hold of sometimes. I don't expect much to come of it. It's not the kind of thing you get warranty or guarantee with. I could pull the trans and send it back to him to take another stab at it. But that's a lot of down time and work to get the same trans back in it that I no longer trust. I wonder if he'd send a rebuild kit and I can just try to do it myself. I think the band is just not holding the clutch drum. Doesn't seem like anything is broken. Fluid is very clean still. Would certainly save me a ton of money if I can get it to work and forget the T56 idea.
I am looking to do the swap this winter or spring when the shop slows down. Too busy to even consider it now. But it feels good to have the complete swap ready. A new tuner opened up near me that's willing to give it a go too. Maybe I will finally see this thing put down some numbers.

I'll be tuned in to see boss! Nice to see you still going with this build!
