I have a Smarty Jr. I thought it would be safe for a stock auto tranny. NOPE!! I drove very responsibly and my tranny started slipping after only 4k with the programmer installed. I only used the towing and economy mode to boot. I'm not sure if I'd run a programmer at all with the stock tranny. Of course, there are guys on this board who have high mileage with stock tranny with a programmer. Maybe it's luck of the draw.
