Rev Limiter

What would cause my car to bounce off the rev limiter and not shift at WOT first to second gear? Any input is appreciated

Re: Rev Limiter

It's the b&m shift kit forcing your 4l60e shift at redline. Turned mine to french toast twice. The camaro servos aren't strong enough to shift at that rpm or psi, also the ball valves tend to get stuck at wot. Have it rebuilt with corvette servos, while you still have reusable parts. They fail because of heat, so add an oil cooler w/ fan or you'll keep replacing trans'. This is the first sign of the trans going out, you're z may not give you another warning before you're driving around in first or calling for a tow.

Re: Rev Limiter

the b&m kit was on the car when I got it and its never slipped once in over a year, now its all of the sudden slipping like crazy. Fluid looks fine but smells a little funny, I also unplugged my vss connector and it had oil inside of it??

Re: Rev Limiter

yeah change all the plates and seals, clean her up real good and r2 any broken hard parts... if you wait too long you might end up r2 alot of hard parts.

did it throw any trans codes before the slipping began?

Dropped trans pan , fluid was black. Changed trans filter and added 6 qts dexron III . Still have to let completely out of gas for car to shift . Not just at WOT
