Unhappy wont shift into 3rd gear

well my car was driving fine and shifting perfect till the other day, now all of a sudden it seems like the transmission wont catch 3rd gear , the fastest i can go is like 30 mph maybe not even that! after that my rpms will just go up and my car wont go any where! is it mechanical internal or something like a solenoid how can i tell?

Yes, it sounds like 3-4 clutch failure. It sounds like you may be in need of a rebuild. If we can help, feel free to give me a call. 302-250-1202

Thanks,

Put the shifter in 2nd when you're driving from now on, until you get it fixed . Work that LT1 a little harder!

Sorry about the tranny . See one of our supporting vendors above for a new one ... and this is the perfect time for a ~3000 stall converter!
