Check out below what "Hugo" the ower of TCUGO says about this situation:

Hugo,

Did you see this thread yet man?

Tom already toasted his tranny out in 2 weeks using your TCUGO system?

Making us a bit nervous here man!

Any ideas?

Thanks....

Howie

"He doesn't have anything to do with the TCUGO for severals reasons:

I mimic the pressure signal EXACTLY like the stock TCU. So when you're shifting, it's like the stock TCU. Also he did mention he was using stage 3 which is putting MORE pressure during shift, so preventing clutch slippage, so more pressure mean less wear. That is for the shifting which happen not that often when you're driving around. As for gear control, it's just a 12 volts solenoid beeing controlled with a + or GND depending which gear is selected, again, like the stock TCU. People around here in Canada have been running the TCUGO for a long time in their car, so I'm not worried about that. And to be honest, it's not a 2 week usage of the TCUGO that will toasted it's tranny. For sure there was something before that.

I hope that will clear out some of your concern"
