Noise on 2-3 shift I have a 98' T/A with a Trans Go shift kit, and a 2800 stall converter. New after market driveshaft. Problem is on the 2-3 shift and only when going easy on the throtle I get a noise. Something like a dull thud. Under harder accelleration no noise. It could be from the trans or from the rear end hard to say the way sound travels. would this be normal wiyh a shift kit?
Well if you have and aluminum shaft you may just be hearing some noise transfer from a clunk on the 2-3 shift. Without hearing it I am only guessing though wildley

still just may be some noise lash transfer. Remember 3rd gear is straight through and the 60e with a shift kit is known to be variably kinda clunky on the 2-3 at light throttle

i have the transgo shift kit in my car as well I know exactly what your talking about, when I'm cruising slowly though a parking lot is when I notice it. Only 2-3 for me as well.. Must not be anything too serious.. not sure
Like I said its a common issue with the 60e and a shift kit I wouldnt worry about it.

What we have found is the timing between the band in second releasing and the third gear clutches applying, there is a slight bind in the shift. We've made the hole for the third gear firmness smaller and most of the clunk is gone. I've had this problem with my own car and I bought a new plate from GM just to try, and it seems to have worked fine. You can tune the trans for a firmer shift when you accelerate harder off the light with your laptop. Hope this helps.
