The person at CPP is full of it regarding having a standard transmission. There is no logical reason that it would make any difference. I have installed many conversions on TF trucks and others, both disc and drum and not had a problem. I have not used CPP however. You have a defective booster/master combination, or they gave you the incorrect components for the system. Kits sold today are almost bullet proof, install, bleed, adjust and go on down the road. You are having way too many problems for this to be anything but defective components that they provided.
