Default Maiden voyage, tranny wont shift.

I took the Camaro on its maiden Voyage today. I have a 4L60E trans in the car. I installed a TCI shift kit and TCI super street fighter convertor. The car will go into reverse and forward fine, but it doesnt want to come out of first gear. I had one shift out of it and that was it.

I have an Autometer Speedo in the car. I have it just spliced into the VSS raw signal going from the tranny to the PCM. I DID NOT cut the wire, send it to the guage, and then send it from the guage to the PCM. Do you think this could be the problem? I am going to try it tomarrow to see if it helps or not.

Any one have any ideas?
Thanks
Bill

The computer didnt like the speedo being tapped into its VSS line. Shifts fine now.

I still used the raw vss signal, just ran it copletely to the guage first and then to the pcm from the output of the speedo.
