I know you guys keep telling me its the trans and im being stubborn however i just realized, If i go full throttle from a dead stop it doesn't do it, its only full throttle from a 30mph or under roll. Does that make any difference?

Ya thats because it skipping 2nd im sure and going to 3rd where at 30 its down shifting and missing the gear all together.

Or if your rear gears have been changed and the Ecm does not know there changed would do that as well. it would vounce 3 times then shift almost everytime if this was the problem. You speedo would be off. i did not see any of this listed

Mine is doing this I had it tuned for my 295\45\17s then I put my 275\45\17s back on...the taller tire was making it not shift right on WOT..and if you have a stall it can hit the limiter also..its called the "lt1 stall wall" hope this helps
