i dont know what it is, but when i am driving down the road all hunky doory and i deceide,"curtis its time to go somewhere faster then your going somewhere now" and i slam down on the gas my car LURCHES fwd but then it feels like i am slipping and not moving as fast as i should be. I was wondering if this would be the tires or the tranny. I can chirp going into second like every other LT1 and i can spin them almost through first like everyother LT1 but for some reason it just doesnt feel like i am getting the .2 G forces i should be getting when slamming on the gas at 5 MPH. any insight would be nice. there are no funny noises and all fluids were just changed around 1k miles ago.

 

no one has any ideas?

 

are you on ice or possibly have a manual transmission?

 

N3g, i should probably change that in my sig. but an A4, and in FL.

 

traction control?

 

never thought of that, i dont have the switch to control it, how would i find out if its on or if i am equipped with it?

 

I hate to say it but I thought I had the same problem with mine. What I found was it was not shifting into Low gear unless you smashed hard to the floor. Then it would go like a ****. But if I was going just the right speed and didnt smash the pedal like the detent cable was out of adjust it would just kind of go felt like I was sllipping or just not as much power as I expected. Then I learned about the pedal trick and found it just wasnt shifting all the way into low.

 

hum, i dont know about that, cause i can put the stick into 1 and it still does it, so i think its getting all the way into the lowest possible gear, i know what u are talking about though i get that sometimes also with the not changing into the lowest. what cable are u talking about that needs adjusting? i am running stock everything with 120k so i bet it would need a little adjusting.

 

You have a 95 and I am new to the 4th generation Camaro but I believe I have a 700R4 trans and it has a detent cable. I thought this was only in the 93's. You would have to check with someone with better knowledge of all the years if yours has the same cable. I found my car just wasnt shifting down and even when I cut out the block for first gear and put it there, it would not always downshift if I was moving. You have to be going under a certain speed.

 

Only 1993s have the kickdown cable (4L60 transmission). 1994-1997 have the 4L60E with all electronic control.

 

thanx for the info shoebox, always helpful as usual, but any ideas on the slippage?
