auto having trouble shifting
auto having trouble shifting Ok, I just bought a used 2001 Trans Am with 70,000 on it. Its a got a small cam with a 350 stall. For some reason when I gun it and I'm up to 80-90 miles an hour getting to the red line it doesnt want to shift. One time I let off and the other time I hit the red line. Did they sell me a pos or am I doing something wrong when I drive it?
I know they were putting 87 octane in there so I don't know if that could have anything to do with it, but I just put $20 in last nite and when I gunned it today thats when it hit the red line.

350 stall ?you mean 3500 I assume , if you stay just off wot does it shift good

yeah if i dont gun it then it's fine, i even had a mechanic check it out. so i have heard 2 different things that could fix it...lower the shift point with a tuner or get a shift kit. would either of those work do yall think?
I would play with the tuning , MAY BE THE PREVIOUS OWNER NEVER BOTHERED AND SOLD IT

mine does the same around that speed, ever since the 3:73's it doesnt want to shift up there an i have to put it from drive to overdrive to get it to shift. but im having another problem at the moment so that isnt bugging me to much....
