Torque Limiter?

So when I punch on the gas it takes off then pops into neutral. Fluids perfect, shifts normally otherwise as long as I don't punch on it. Someone said it's probley my torque limiter kicking in. Because as soon as it goes to neutral, if you park and go back to drive, no issues. I did get a 2500 code and cleared it, reset the trans adaption via scantool. Still does it, so what is the torque limiter, where is it located and can I adjust my programming to turn it up?

If this doesn't work, who makes the best trans for our cars?

UPDATE: If I turn traction control off, it does not have this issue. It will shift from gear to gear no problem even under heavy load.

Sounds like you might need 2 new rear tires - start by checking both rear tires 1st - for same size and brand - then check for equal tire pressure on both sides - then ask yourself "will I be better off with two new rears tires"..

they are the same size, the dude before me vetoed this car and went to 20" wheels. 275 /30 r20 in the rear, 2r5 35 r 20 in the front. Keeping my eye out for a set of OEM monoblocks.
