i have a 99 camaro with a 2500 stall automatic, and shift kit. the car has 77000 miles. i just had the trans flushed and filter changed, now the 1-2 shift is feeling like its sliding into gear, and the 2-3 shift is hitting rev limiter and wont **** till i let off. it NEVER did this befor i had the trans flushed, HELP..........any help?

performabuilt2

make sure the tranny has the proper level in it the machine is suppoed to replace what it take out but i have seen it not work right.....was the fluid dark or black before it was flushed?

i check the fluid level and its good. the tranny shop said there was no metal flakes or shavings, and they said the fluid was dirty, but they said everything looked ok.
like i said before this was done the tranny was on the money and shifted great.

performabuilt2

with high milage trannies its a gamble to have them flushed what happens is the valvebody gets worn out and with the old fluid and varnish in them it keeps the shift valves sealed and fills in the gap made by the wear but when you change the fluid and flush it out it takes all the varnish away and then you have leaking valves it happens alot after a flush at the dealer i worked at we wouldnt flush dirty fluid or black fluid we were not even allowed to recommend it unless it was due by manufacturer recomendations to cover our own asses lol

so from what it sounds like is im going to need to rebuild the tranny? possibly?

performabuilt2

very good possibility....you may be able to change a valvebody at this point and it may help it but it is a gamble.

well if i do get it rebuilt is there any stronger parts or recomended shift kits i should put in? any recomendations at all?

performabuilt2

you may want to check out our website for your application I would recomend the level 2 however if you have plans for modding it I would go with the level 3

ls1adamls1

iTrader: (9)

yeah ill check it out, and the car is already modded, and pushing about 380 at the wheels. im def not done yet either so i guess a stage 3 is obvious. thanx.

performabuilt2

The level 2 will be good we have level2 trannies running in the 10s but there is always room to grow with the level3

i have had the same prob with my car occasionaly when i drive for no reason it will hit rev limiter and wont get off it till i let off the gas it only hapens between second and third but i am scared to see what a rebuilt trany would cost does anybody know how much it would b

Gilbert@Ace Racing

Depending on what Level unit we are talking about you are looking somewhere around $2000.00 for the transmission. I am thinking a Level 2, but do not really know your combination at all.

are those prices for a rebuild kit, or a complete transmission?
ALSO......i have called other tranny shops and they are saying that if the shop put in the wrong type of filter it could cause this problem. is this possible? and i dont understand how the car was shifting just fine with NO PROBLEMS and now it dont shift right, there is noway something could have broken, im never going to a shop again.

those prices are for a trans, Doubtfull on the filter. More than likley ome trash got where it shouldnt have, You might try replacing the PCS did they change the filter too?

ls1adamls1

iTrader: (9)

yes they did change the filter but the part number they gave me for the filter is for a generic filter and i was told it was for an older z28, what is the pcs? they draind the fluid from the torque converter also. this is a dang mess.

performabuilt

iTrader: (25)

PCS equals presure controll solenoid andthe filter as long as for a 4l60e z28 would still be and work the same

ls1adamls1

iTrader: (9)

ok where is the pcs? how much are they? and are they hard to change out?

performabuilt2

it is inside the pan on the VB it will be a round black cylinder looking thing with with a 2 prong plug it will be behind the 1-2 accum housing it has a 8mm head bolt retaining it

ok........ill check that. i dont have to take the valve body out do i? and if this is bad would it make the tranny fluid burnt after like 50 miles?
