wont shift out of 1st wot just got a 99 z28 yesterday. i havent had any problems out of it till i washed it today. after i left the car wash i noticed it didnt want to shift till way late. it got worse, now it wont shift at wot. it just bounces off the rev limiter. is it possible i got something wet (pcm, speed sensor)? any help would be appreciated
I dont have an answer for you, but I have a buddy with a bolt on 00 Mustang GT who's car is doing kind of the same thing. Its kissing the rev limiter before it shifts, mainly in the 1-2 shift. Im curious to find out what it may be as well. Has your car been tuned and shift points raised?

If your problem is Only second-I would suspect a stuck ck ball in a worn out separator plate (quite common on high millage vehicles.)
If you had no 4th either, I would suspect a worn or broken band (anchor end breaks sometimes)

My uncle's Silverado was doing the same thing with the 2-3 solenoid and a couple trans shops told him he needed a new trans. Well, my dad put the Tech I (old school truck) and saw there was nothing happening for the 2-3 shift solenoid and replaced it and it's been working fine since.
