hey guys so lately i've been noticing this issue:

in first gear from stop to WOT, as it gets to the shift point to go into second, it bounces at the rev limiter a little, then shifts. i talked to my shop guys, they recommended raising the rev limiter a little to see if that helps. i've tried it for about a week, and still have same results. any idea what it could be? only happens going from 1st to second no other gear. bounces for maybe a second or 2, then shifts. doesnt really feel like a rev limiter issue, just seems to be a delay in shifting. any input helps!

 

Maybe a bad 1-2 shift solenoid?

 

Yeah there are different solenoids for the shifts, you could be ruining the one.

 

hmmm, wonder what the cost of fixing something like that is? does that solenoid go bad over time, or is it something im breaking with my driving skillz haha

is it hard to get to in the tranny? im thinking price in labor

 

I have no idea, I know in my old transmission I lost the 1-2 solenoid, as well as my torque converter so I just got a different transmission :P

Call some place for a quote, The part I believe is nice and cheap, it's just the labor.

 

where the signs and syptoms similar to what im describing? i've been thinking about getting a new tranny but its kinda expensive for my budget right now. how did you know your torque converter was failing?

could this have anything to do with a toasted differential?

sorry, just dont know a whole lot about our trannys.

 

Well if you want, you can shoot triple edge performance a nice email with descriptions of what is happening and they could help you on a diagnosis.

My car got soo bad when I was driving it. It would SLAM me into gear when I was at a dead stop and tried to go, used to give me a headache. Then while driving it felt like I was missing gears as the RPMs would just raise then wobble, then shift horribly.

And my car was diagnosed for a fee, then we talked options. Repair was around $1200 with labor for me, new transmission with warranty was $3k, used transmission with half the mileage and a 1 year warranty was $1200 with labor, so I went with that option.

 

I know what you need.
