Today I was driving normal and then I slowed down to 10 mph and down shifted to first and floored it. All of the sudden it redlined so I shifted to second And it wasent going any where. I pulled over checked the fluid and it was fine, so then I put it in D and it bearly move at high rpm. I tried all the other gears and the same out come. I have a 3800 stall with a cam.
Can anyone please help. Thanks.

broken sunshell perhaps????

when mine broke it broke on a 1-2 shift....after that i had a little limping ability in 1st but it wouldnt shift and it was barely moving ...no reverse either...does this sound like what your talking about????

Thats what it sounds like. Did you have 3rd or OD? How much was it to fix?

Hey, when you loose your sunshell you'll loose 2nd,4th and reverse, sometimes depending on the break you manage reverse for alittle while, I hope this helps ....Dave

yea but if u lose second your not gonna get third anyway....

when i broke mine i had 1st...(kind of) and i couldnt get up fast enough for 3rd so i dont know whether it was there....also reverse was gone...

It turned out to be the torque converter ( tci competition 3800 ). I put the stock one back in and know it runs fine. I only had the converter on for about 3 weeks. I guess I will be sending it back for replacement.

If you lose 2nd, you will still have 3rd gear. TCI's are one torque converter that I will not warranty of of my 700R4/4L60E's behind. I have seen too many problems with them over the years. With TH350-400's, they have ok.
