Holds 1-2 shift @ WOT, 2-3 at partial throttle, shifts if I kick the throttle.

Just like the topic says, my tranny will hold the 1-2 shift every once and awhile at wide open throttle. I have to let out and kick the throttle to get it to shift.

If I'm just driving around, normal driving situations, it will hold the 2-3 shift until I kick the throttle.

I'm assuming throttle valve? What's the fix, how easy is it? I would guess just pull the valve out and polish it? Where is the valve located?

Anything else that would cause this?

I'm to the point that if the car wasn't a street car, it would have a TH400 in it.

And this is after Vince Janis "repaired" it? You sure you're not doing someting wrong there Kenny?

Lemme talk to Lonnie...

If driving it is doing something wrong, then, ya, I guess I am. I drove it all the way home, perfect shifts. Take it to the track, first pass, holds the 1-2.

I talked to Lonnie about it, he said to call him the next Monday (whichever day I called).

I called that Monday and got no answer. I've been trying to get ahold of him since.

Unfortunately, that is a problem where the car has to be left with a transmission guy. He needs to be able to drive it and to be able to open up the pan/valve body to do fine tuning. If however it is your daily driver, your gonna have to find another means of transportation.

Lonnie will become more accessible in aobut 2 weeks.

I have no problem dropping it off. Just name a date/time.

It would be nice if it's done by the 31st (for BPG @ Norwalk)... but not THAT big of a deal.
