Hitting rev limiter on 2-3 shift with built trans
I've been working on a guy's tune, he has a 1998 Z28 Camaro with a fast intake, bolt ons, performabuilt level 3 60e and a 4000rpm stall converter. I can't keep it from hitting the rev limiter on the 2-3 shift. I've raised the rev limiter, lowered the shift point, lowered shift speed, raised commanded pressure, reduced shift times, almost everything it seems. Nothing changes the shift, it hits the limiter a couple times before shifting to 3rd. 1-2 shift is fine. Pretty confused

Ok, update on this... So whenever he shifts to race, he puts it in gear manually instead of of the kickdown at WOT from 3rd or 4th. Putting it in gear like that causes it to hit the rev limiter. BUT, when he lets it downshift normally, it doesn't do it. It still has a tiny bit of hang when upshifting 2-3 after a normal downshift, but my truck does the same thing on the 2-3 shift so it feels normal to me. Experience with this?

Experience with manually engaging 2nd, going WOT, then trying to manually shift third? Yeah, it doesn't work. As soon as he goes WOT he should shift to D and let the computer take over. There is an extreme delay between moving the selector and the shift actually taking place.
