Okay well my problem started when i got my cam installed. Before i got it installed on the highway at around 60-70 when i put it to the floor the car shifted itself down into 2nd, and just pulled its *** off.

Ever since the cam install it just will not do this. I know that putting a cam in will move the power band up a little but i didnt figure it had anything to do with this.

I can manually pull the tranny down into 2nd and it will haul, but i have to do it manually. I havent had the money to put in a new converter but i plan on it.... the stock converter is still being used so could this be some of the problem?

Also WOT from a stop it kind of hesitates and then kicks on into 1st and runs fine through all of the gears.

The cam i have is the G5X3 and LG installed and tuned the car. Lou told me to come back if the car still acted funny after i installed a converter.

I just wanted to see what you guy/gals think.

Thanks ahead of time!!

Also under normal city driving the car wants to shift up to fast... always is in too high of a gear.

Hey john, I'll take a stab at it. I think your problem may be one of two things, the tps, or the 3-2 solenoid valve. I suspect the TPS seems you had it before the cam install ...however it's possiable it's the solenoid valve. Go have the tps checked and the grounds checked, then I'd go to a good tranny shop to have the valve looked at. I think you can have them both checked at a tranny shop... I hope this helps, and let us know what you find. Thanks for listening Dave
