That is a typical PCM/TCM problem. Andy

Hey is it a pcm issue to go forward in reverse and neutral?

FYI for anyone finding this thread later, this business lost their lease and had to sell all of their transmissions unfortunately.

I’m over $5k into a transmission that has needed to be rebuilt since I received it from them. They did all they could to not help. And now they can go away.

These guys are/were a performance shop, right?

Bullripper was the online division of Transmission Exchange Co.

Nothing special performance wise, but their marketing pretended that they were special.

Their “HD converter” was nothing special…brazing the fins has been industry standard since the 90s according to my local rebuilder who is sharp as a tack. He went to bat for me when Bullripper they tried to incorrectly blame the first bad converter on the flex plate. Bullripper came back saying “your installer really knows his stuff.” Yes he does.

Their next TC was bad and their valve body and solenoid pack were also bad. They lied and said they only use new OEM solenoid packs, then installed a malfunctioning reman. I ended up getting an expensive OEM solenoid pack from eBay, and the TC still needs to be replaced.
