transmission trouble Stock 5.3/4l60e swap in a 55 Chevy. You can feel the car shift through all of the gears but it constantly feels like its in 1:1. If you let off of the gas at road speed, the car slows down like there's a drag. Car has a factory 3.7x gear. Getting horrible gas mileage but unfortunately there is no tach.

Try unplugging the brake light switch and take it for a test drive. If it has a lot more power on the test drive, then most likely something is wrong with the convertor lock up solenoid circuit.

well like i said , when it was first tuned he added something that would hold it back, he said some people like it to help not using the brakes as much , he also added a high idle on start up , i didnt like either , so i send the ecm back to him and he was suppose to remove them i dont think he did ,i dont know were to take to a tranny shop and like them plug it in or fine a tuner and have them look at it ,, either way ill you all know what i find
thanks
