Help, When my car shifts it sounds like a manual

[Slow91z]

I don't know if this is the flare everyone talks about or what...Flare to me means that it's slipping for a sec. when it shifts.

My car at WOT and sometimes at alitle over 1/2 throttle will shift and it's like the motors revs like I'm powershifting a manual, then it SLAMS into gear, not to harsh, but enough to bark the tires (which I want, but the rev beforehand worries me.

all gears or just 2nd?

 

[Slow91z]

Mostly 2nd and 3rd...I haven't really gone WOT 4th.

2nd is the bad one though.

That sounds like the 2nd gear band is prob slipping...is it a stock trans?

It has been rebuilt, has about 5000 miles on it, but it's not like it's slipping...That's what my last trans was doing...It's like it's in neutral for a split sec.

This is exactly what our car has done all season..... at first i taught it was me ( I only drive it at the track basicly) but i noticed it on a video one time so now i know its true IF we dont sell it i think we are going to do a 400 swap

At least it ain't just me.

I drive mine to much for a 400 swap.

I knew someone who was having a similar problem...has it been since the rebuild? I think he said that he just messed with the TV cable some....

he's a member on here, but I don't remember his screen name (need to be able to search for town cause I know he's in Amarillo and his real name), you may ask him and see what he did.

Also, if you did go to a 400, you could always get the gearvendors unit that gives you OD on all gears.
