Re: tranny probs

Thats the same problem im having. It just started this not to long ago. Before it would shift great right at the right time. Going about 50 and hit 2nd gear and shoot you off. Now it just goes to far in red line and studders at the rev limiter.

Re: tranny probs

You're not gonna like this, but the exact same thing happened to me when my transmission went out. It gets progressively worse until you need to be light on the gas just to leave a stoplight or it'll slip. Check the fluid first, but IMO you're in for a new trans.

Re: tranny probs

Is you rear end stock ? If not could need tuning, just shooting at straws..in case you left it out of your mods.

Re: tranny probs

If this is happening on the 2-3 WOT shift, then adding a Corvette servo would be the first thing, then a larger boost valve and then a modified TransGo Shift kit, or both. As long as the 2-3 shift under normal throttle openings is still ok, then this should fix it.
