2-3shift revlimiter stall before shifting???? solenoid???
2-3shift revlimiter stall before shifting???? solenoid??? so I was rollin on the interstate today and punched it, it dropped into second and pulled up to the rev limiter and bounced for a not so normal amount of time before shifting into 3rd..what could it be? shift solenoid going bad? tuning problem? PLease help.
Could be either or the beginings of a mechanical problem. First how many miles are on the trans? What is the fluild condition and is it full ?

Well, there are many, many threads regarding this same subject! LoL.
It could easily be a Tuning issue. But usually only if something in the combination has been changed recently.
Otherwise, it will most likely be determined to be excessive clearinace in the 3/4 clutch pack.
If you would like to discuss it in detail feel free to give me a call. I help guys with this very issue several times each week!
Good Luck,

well, I just changed the rear end gears to 3.73 from 3.23. I have never had this problem before. It only does it when I floor it (100%TPS) and it only does it from 2-3 (of course I havent taken it faster to see if it does it 3-4 high RPM...be going pretty fast there lol) I did change the final ratio with HP Tuner and it recalibrated the trans tables... I also just recently put long tube headers on with off road Y. I am thinking it could be gettin up there quick and maybe I need to change the fuel cutoff to a little higher...hmmmm...
the fluid is good...the trans only has about 10-15K if that. the clutch pack you are talking about is the Zpack...I think its setup properly...I hope it isnt internal...

I would try making a little more room between the comanded shift time and rev limiter. Either by lowering the shift point a little or raising the rev limiter a little.

I've had no success in tuning this issue out, its making me consider a T56 swap. 3 different trannys and still no luck. I went from a stock 115k mile unit, to a stock 6k mile unit to a brand new built unit and still have this, with multiple changes to the tune. I've even experimented by setting the WOT 2-3 shift at 5000rpm and it still does it. Maybe it has to do with me running a speed-density tune?

Though I dont know that much about tuning , I have see other post with people having a similar issue with the speed density tune as I remember seeing them mention that,
Have you looked at the data stream to see if indeed the shifts being commanded, I know in the snap on scanner you have a place that says "actual gear". I have seen a couple instances where even though the tuning was set for a certain rpm and speed yet the PCM comanded at a different time, Also I have noted from some other post its very improtant you bring down not only the RPM but the MPH also when changing shift points

Update: I found something that might be causing this for me anyways, possibly other speed-density guys. My TPS was set to go WOT at 92% open, plus the bumpstop mod. When I set it up to 99% it stopped doing it, so I'm guessing the tune can't compensate for the extra air if there is such a huge gap between WOT and where the throttle plate actually stops opening. Not really sure why this might be, but it seems to be fixed now anyways.

I'm happy I found it but I've already started picking up the components for the 6spd swap, after I found myself pawing a non-existent clutch pedal to downshift the other night I decided it was time.
