trans or converter? Last night I went to the track. Pull up to the water box, spin them over, pull up and try to do a burnout, tires wont spin unless I rev the car up A LOT and it goes into boost. Then all at once it just starts blowing them off lol. Pull up to the line and take off spinning with a 1.7 60ft, goes to shift and smacks the limiter, I let off and let it shift, goes to the 2-3 and smacks it again, I let off, get back on it after I thought it shifted and smacked the limiter again, so I let off one more time until I know it shifts and ended up running a 11.1. I thought it was just a wot problem, till the drive home. The fluid level during all this is right on too. Now when I drive it normally the 1-2 and 2-3 feels good. Heres where I am stumped. Keep in mind I am an idiot dealing with an auto, this is my 1st one. I swear it 'feels' like its grabbing 4th and just not locking up. Gets to the top of 3rd and rpm drops like a shift would do. Heres the other part that I am confused about. After it feels like it shifts to 4th I can cruise on up to about 60mph and manually grab 3rd, rpm will increase about 2-300 rpm for a second, then drop right back down where it was before I even manually shifted it down into 3rd. Ideas?

We need to run a quick scan with HPTuners and see what the trans is doing. You can do scans without buying credits, anyone with HPTuners can do it for you.
we got it figured out.
