Even with all of those parts replaced, the clutch packs in gears 5-7 are still too small to take a lot of power. Replacing those, adding a trans cooler and upping the line pressure would help, but torque will eventually kill it. The only solution so far is to call GTM and give them all of your money for one of their built autos.

It's still probably cheaper than swapping to a manual. The one guy that did it had to swap a lot of stuff out just to get it to run.
