Default Crazy acting PI3200

How about this one.

after the TC install (MTI), the rpms surge after 2-3 then settle right back down. it feels like a lock up issue for a second. no shiftkit. would that help?

john

props to MTI. they were awesome to work with and i love the TC.

Odd, mine does the same thing in 2nd gear only. Ill be driving at near 1/2 throttle and when it hits about 3k rpms in 2nd it kinda locks then unlocks real quick. Doesnt do it always, and usually right after I started it up. Doesnt do it anytime other than then..Ive had it like that for 4-6 months now and its fine. Im going to get a power fluch on trans and clean the pan, and install new filter one of these days, see if its a fluid/filter issue. Anyone else have this experience or know a possible fix? TTT

Sounds like you need to do the PCM relearn if the surge is at idle.

I have heard that the Vigs can cause sloppy shifts so I had the shift kit installed just to be safe. So far all is well after 2 years with the converter and kit. Now if I could only get rid of that damm surging from the cam. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

i think a shift kit would solve that problem. I have the same converter with 3 washers and it`s fine.

Shiftkit!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

A transgo is pretty much a standard addition...
Its worth the extra cost and...since the tranny will be down..do it at the same time..

I have a Vig3200 and transgo..3washer..
1-2 shifts will hit hard just pulling away normally.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
