Slipping and Overdrive I have a 2000 SS Camaro that has had some modifications but the transmission is still stock. When I am running around 100mph and let off then get back on the gas my transmission slipps bad. Another problem is she is not shifting into Overdrive. Any ideas. I'm currently overseas and not sure how hard it would be to get a new transmission shipped over here if I have too. Hopeing this could be an easy fix. Thanks in advance.
world wide shipping! The problem with your trans sounds like the 2-4 band and probably the 3-4 clutch. If you need a trans shipped over there simply call FLT(www.finishlinetrans.com).The number is 1-630-350-7776. All their units come fully DYNO TESTED and built per vehicle application. They ship world wide with some of the best customer service in the industry. Hope this helps...

If the problem is the 2-4 band and 3-4 clutch will this require a new transmission or is this repairable? I'm really trying to avoid buying a new transmission if I can but will if I have too. Thanks again.

Ok I had the cheverolet dealer check out the car and they said that they can not fix it because I need to go to a performance mechanic but they did say the problem was the Torque Converter. Does this sound like it could be the problem?
If you have P1870 slip code setting on you (due to the
converter clutch slipping) it will then refuse to lock up
anymore for the duration of the trip. You can go on like
this without setting the light, because the code will
un-set on its own once slip RPM comes back into range.
Or you may see the light if you are on it enough. I've had
it both ways. Only thing to do is set the slip-fault RPM
limits higher (tolerating the converter's nature) and/or
bump the line pressure up at lower loads. But a proper
converter clutch would be better than all that.
Some time with a scanner would let you see where the
slip lies, you should try and get the data before buying
any parts (good converter + shot trans = still suck).
