Re: wont shift

i dought a shift kit will help you, you probly have some internal trans problems or the program you are running isnt allowing the trans to shift

This could be way off, but....
It may be your linkage needs an adjustment. It happened to my buddies camaro before, except it wouldn't shift into overdrive at WOT. Try it, it can't hurt I guess. Here is a link to shoebox's page with instructions.

Re: wont shift

Your trans has too much power going through it and its staring to slip! I went through the same thing last year with my N20, the trans blew sky high a few weeks later, while racing of course.

mine took a rebuild to fix it, once the clutches start sliping its only gonna get worse until the go completely, Frank at CPT did my full race re build for much cheaper that most shops and his trannies are proven ino the 10 sec range so dont worry about the word cheap in his trannies! check the link in my sig for his contact info, or if you have questions he will be happy to help you out!

he is one of the most knowledgable and nicest guys on this board!
