please help as i sucks to wait so long to get it together and than have this bullsh*t!!

am i ok?

 

ANYONE?

 

did you expect a trans that was designed for a 2.8 motor to work in your car. l know you think l'm full of it, but that's the truth jk

 

GREAT REPLY, THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. BUT MY QUESTION IS THIS A COMMON TRANS CODE ERROR WHEN CAR ISNT TUNEDS PROPERLY ?

 

When the trans overheats or something goes wrong the trans will go into 'limp' mode and stay locked in 2nd gear, could have been what happened. Without knowing what the codes were who knows, might want to have the fluid leve re-checked - i know its a pain on a C5 but a lot of transmissions die from being over/under filled..

 

A faulty VSS or VSS connection is a common cause of 2nd gear start which will be accompanied by no OD operation as well, if memory serves. It should set a VSS DTC.

John Kilgore, are you the same John Kilgore who builds the hopped up super TH400s whom I talked to last spring/summer about doing a build for my NA 8 second effort (still haven't gotten that car out of the shop but we're getting close)? I haven't bought a tranny for it yet in case you're wondering if I went somewhere else.

 

fixed all i had to do is reset dic. took car to cartek and got my new set up dyno and edit made 417 rwhp, pretty good i guess but i am not some sappie *** dyno # queen. i guess well see what trap speeds it does t

 

Did they turn off PO757 with the tune? That code is common with 3200+ stalls, and it will keep it in 2nd gear.
