I am trying to keep my new transmission together so I am wondering if there are any do's and dont's when tuning a transmission with a shift kit? What kind of line pressure should I be shooting for? Is there a specific operating temperature? What is the best fluid/additive to use with Redline clutches?
Transmission is a 4L65e with a pro-torque 3500 converter.
What is "built" that is pretty vague. If it built with a Transgo HD2 or some of the other kits, no tuning pressure changes are usually done.
Bump for help...
If I understood your post correctly, you should tune the transmission only to improve shift times and torque management.Quote:

You may use Lucas for additive. A transcooler is a good idea because your 3500 TC will heat the transmission. A good transcooler will extend your transmission's life.

No additives are needed if you use a good name brand Dexron IV fluid.
You never said what was done to the trans.
Like mentioned, a good trans cooler is a must if you want it to last with a stall.
I have a factory trans cooler. Is that enough? At what temp is the trans too hot?
