Even at city speeds, no problem. But anytime I go under 15mph or come to a complete stop and the re-accelerate, the motor revs all the way to 3000rpm at low speeds before shifting around 25mph or so, which makes me look like quite the jack-***.

On that note, do you have experience building c5 converters and transmissions? I know the c5 converter is different from f-bodys, not sure about the transmission though. Would the pricing be the same?
Thanks.

i had the same symptoms as you when i lost second. the car would drive fine up to 15-20 and then it would like rev up like in neutral before it shifted again. still drove it for awhile and then i lost 3rd as well, and then the car would never shift out of first. installed a built tranny/converter and everything has been fine
