I had it dyno'd and it would'nt stay in third for the run it kept shifting into 4th at WOT.
do you have hptuenrs or have you had any tunign done??

It's been put back to stock tuning and that's when I noticed the difference after the shop re-installed the stock tune with HPT. the car was modded by the previous owner and he sold off the parts leaving a forged bottom end and a mild cam. I'm thinking that the trans isn't happy with the stock tune or the shop may not have set the trans up to cooperate very well. It started this after they had it on their dyno. The other owner told me that before he raced it he had to go into the program and manually lock the converter, so I drive it on the street and it is very loose, I don't think it locks on the street.
I don't have HPT, but my buddies locally do. I have to setup and start using EFIlive, that's what I bought to go with a big mod that' I have coming.

I had a stock tune put back in because the previous owner had de-modded the car before he sold it and the tune he installed was a cusomt stock tune that didn't perform well. It's also a base point before I add a few big mods.

as far as it locking in third, unlocking for the shift and re-locking in fourth that is exactly what i think is happening at least that is how it seems... from all my logging the converter seem to work perfectly. But how do i make it lock in third and also make the transition to 4th gear smoothly? or is this not possible and that is why a lot of people get rid of 3rd gear lock altogether?
