Jumping through gears....

has anyone had an issue with their transmission jumping through gears? For example, 2nd 4th and 6th wont engage so they just jump to the next 1st 3rd and 5th? When you accelerate this particullarly happens? Does anyone have any info on this? I heard something about holding boost too high over 28psi and throws the sst into a safe mode, but this doesn't feel very safe to me. Thanks guys.

I think what they are trying to say is that your k&n has oil in it and it's messing with you maf.K&N
is known to have oil in their filters.

My only worry is that i have been reading: "Another TC-SST likely shot (Bad MAF)" on the forum and that seems to be a huge problem, i don't want mine to be like that?? I watched his video and i don't get a warning light....
