Tranny won't shift out of 3rd gear
 
I had my VIG3200 installed about 3 weeks ago at the same time I had my tranny rebuilt. I haven't had a chance to go to the track to really see the launching difference because I just had my rear (10 bolt) rebuilt 2 weeks ago (3rd time :cry: ) and I just now finished ''breaking" it in.

The tranny seems to be working fine during normal driving (expect for the "3rd gear" vibration), but when I got on it the other day (WOT) it shift from 1-2 fine, 2-3 fine, but when it was time for the tranny to shift from 3 to 4...well, it didn't it just stayed at 6400 :bang: ...I let off the gas and it shifted 3-4. Any ideas on why this would be happening? :eek2:

havr you had the car tuned

PERFECT Z28 Dec 6, 2005 02:43 PM

I had it tuned before the stall, but I think the shift points need to be adjusted?

PERFECT Z28 Dec 6, 2005 06:34 PM

Where should my shift points be at?
....VIG3200 with 373's rev lmt @ 6400

When you mean just stayed at 6400 in 3rd gear did you hit the rev limiter?

PERFECT Z28 Dec 8, 2005 12:59 PM

YES, it wouldn't shift 3-4 at WOT.

LS1FIRE Dec 8, 2005 03:24 PM

Maybe check you fluid level. Trannies are sensitive to that. My car would hit the limiter on the 2nd to third shifts allot before shiting into third. The fluid was a tad bit low added some it stoped. Hope you get everthing figured out. Take care.

Thanks

PERFECT Z28 Dec 9, 2005 02:01 PM

What should my shift points be at?
VIG3200 on 373's with 315 / 35 17's

i dont think stock tables will let you do a WOT shift from 3-4

Why not?

because 3-4 clutches are the weak link in a stock 4l60e. you can change that in your tune so it will shift

So, where about should my shift points be at?

GT Griller Dec 13, 2005 11:29 PM

Well u dont have a cam (looking in ur sig) so it would be a few RPM after peak horse power. I dont know why ur rapping it up all the way to 6400.

PERFECT Z28 Dec 16, 2005 02:20 PM

I'm going to the shop on Monday to finish my dynotune...I should be able to adjust my shift points as well.

therobman Apr 16, 2007 05:16 PM

i had the same problem it would redline my 2-3 and i also had a 3500 stall i got a crappy hypertech and fixed it all up

PERFECT Z28 Jun 1, 2007 11:04 PM

Dang, this was brought back...my shift points were off.
My tuner fixed it with HP TUNERS.
