As some of you may know, I'm on my second transmission already. I do go WOT a bit so it really shouldn't be that big of a surprise, couple that with mods too. My trans temps are fine on my current trans, fluid is fine, no odd colors etc but I will occasionally when driving get the "slipping". Most of the time the shifts are fine but they can be harsher then "normal". My trans pressure was increased along with quicker shifts so I feel that may have something to do with it. I only started noticing this as it got colder out (Could this also be a tuning issue?). So, should I drop the pan and change fluid/filter, think about a new tune in spring, or just start saving every penny for a new trans? I'm assuming the slipping is a dead give away that the trans is about to fail?

Could just be filter. But if your gonna keep beating it you might ad well invest in something that will hold up better. But try a filter first

colder if free boost season so it maybe be the increased power nudging it towards the coffin, but in the end your gonna need a performance built tranny so i'd save the hassel and save now, as far as the filter and all oges, go for it and change it, so you can see if there are metal shaving or what not, i would put in a DIY shift kit while you we're at it as well

WTF do you do to your trannies?

I put them on the street corner and have them score me cash so I can mod my car!

Well you see, I start first by pouring random things down into to trans dipstick area, followed by heavy WOT driving.
