Need Help
Hey guys i'll just start by telling u wut i have...it is a 00 camaro ss with a stock 4l60e and stock converter. Only major mod is 3.73s. i have been noticing the trans acting up as of late and it has been sitting for a few weeks. i got it out tonight and went to play around on some country roads. under normal driving conditions it seems fine but if i come out from a dead stop (with the traction control off) it will spin just for a second then the rpms will drop and it feels like a loss of power. i then tried to stop it and come out again(this time manually shift it) and had the same result...chirp the tires and rpms drop and feels like loss of power. Wut do u guys think? do you think i am over looking something? i've checked all the simple things like fluid and made sure the traction control was off but i cant seem to figure out wuts wrong. any help or suggestions will be appriciated. thanks

I have an SS that sits but it has a manual transmission.
One day I took it out and it was running real bad, rough, hesitation, even misfires at wot. It was low on fuel so I put a can of seafoam in and some fresh gas, it slowly got back to normal after that.
Your problem doesn't sound transmission related. Yours might cut off during a shift because engine power can't pull through the gear ratio drop.

Thanks for the input... for some reason it feels like the tranny but i may be wrong. almost feels like it slips a little. i've never had a problem like this with any of my cars in the past.
