How did the shop reduce the line pressures? Tech II or some other type of tuning device?

What are some of the surrounding area's in Redding? Are you near Vacaville = Steve @ RSD can help?

I am way to far or I could hook-up my HP Tuner and do a full scan!!!

Did the tranny shop replace the whole Solenoid Pack on your tranny or did they use the old Solenoid pack?

I would ask them for them to show you your old Solenoid pack!!!

Thanks,Matt
Redding is almost at the top of CA...they said they have a scanner but im not sure if they replaced the solenoids....i broke the output shaft which took everything else out...so I had the whole tranny rebuilt, new torque converter and a 3 rib 3.42 diff...i am off work at 4 and i will be going by the shop to try to figure this out.

they have had the scanner on it along with pressure gauges (car has been at idle or short trips)...the only time this code comes up is if the car is driven for about 30 minutes. i dont think they have had the chance to drive it that long but i will be giving them the car today to do some more trouble shooting...im just trying to get some more insight to help get this solved
