This happened before I changed my gears, and it is still happening, every once in a while, If I ask the girl to do too much, she will down shift once, the decide that it wasn't enuf so it downshifts waaaaaaay to much and runs the rpms up to like 6000+ rpm's and when that happens, of course I feather the pedal a little to get it back down to a reasonable rpm, and it takes for.... f...ing EVER to re-engage. It literaly sounds like when a guy misses a gear in a manual it is like rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrvroooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmrrrrrrrr (like that sound effect?) anyway, is this the normal limitations of my tranny, or is something fouled up? when it is spooling down from that high rpm, there isn't any engagement with the flywheel from what I can tell, it litteraly is like the "auto" missed a shift. I have had c4,c6 autos, turbo 350's and turbo 400's (I know icky chevy's) but NONE of them have ever acted like this. It is bizzare.
If this has ever happened to anyone else out there then I will assume that it is due to the fact that this tranny respondes to computer imput rather than machanical means. Otherwise, It kinda has me worried. Also, when I run ran the quarter mile with the 3.31's still in it, Right at the end of the quarter, it would shift into 5'th then without fail it would downshift into fourth again wich ran the rpms' up through the stratosphere. It would shift into 5th, then run up and up and up in rpms, then for some stupid reason the trans would decide that It wasn't making enuf progress and downshift when everything was going just peachy.
Just looking for input. Thanks
Bill.

with the bama racetune, somewhere between 5-10 mph mine has a shift frenzy thing where it doesnt know which gear to be in( while idling through the sidestreets, not a big deal. nothing like that going fast or at higher speeds. it might have something to do with position of the gas pedal. just a guess. sounds like a tuning issue with the 4.10 maybe too

I think you have a tune issue. My car still has the stock tune, and it does do the downshift one gear, then another thing you described. However, the rpms never get above 5000, and I don't sense there's no pull there in the lower gear.

+1... Is that on the canned Predator tune?

[billthecougnut]

Yeah, I am running the "firm shifting" 93 octane canned predator tune. It doesn't do it often, and if I mash the pedal to the floor, and keep it there, it shifts great. This problem only occurs when I am in a 3/4 throttle or so position. I actually don't think there is anything wrong per se... but I just want to verify and be sure.

never had that happen to me. sounds like a tuneable fix though. try gettin a new tune. i noticed with my bama, at 40mph roll, if you slam that pedal to the floor youre at 60mph and 70 in no time. heck i broke it loose the other day at 40mph on slightly wet pavement. i try not to drive in the rain, but i got caught in a little 5 min drizzle. i almost pulled an "exodus209" and wrecked my car, lol.
