Did you install a new converter without tuning for it?

The issues you are having could be from the rebuilt or from the tune. I would have someone tune your vehicle if you are having issues with wot shifts. If that does not help I would consider a different builder. Take a look here for tuners and trans sponsors. I'm sure one of us can get you in the right direction. Vince

Are you still having issues with the vss? Have you ever changed the gear in this car or tire size?

mine startin doing this right after i changed tire size for 26 to 28, soon afterwards my tranny began to slip. But that may be due to the fact that I was running 325's in the rear
