Okay, so now that I've solved some of my little issues a bigger one comes up. Now I'll be getting up 2nd gear and the engine will rev but it will not shift up into the next gear. Sometimes it happens from 2nd to 3rd but mostly just 1st to 2nd. I either have to let off the gas so it will shift down or stay in 1st or just keep giving it gas till it shifts. Sometimes it will kick into gear after a while if I don't let off, I tried it this morning but it wouldn't shift for the longest time so I chickened out and let off... I just put new tranny fluid and Tranny honey in it, it didn't do it for 24 hours after that but it may just be a coincidence. Any ideas guys?

 

Sounds like sticking solenoids. Had the same issue with my 89. Replaced them and problem went away.

 

Sounds like it might be overheating and shutting down. Put a trans cooler on it. What size tires are you running? Gears?

 

Have you looked into adjusting the kick down cable? Its a cool little trick and it made my gf 2000 shift alot better.

theres a button on the kick down cable and you press it, open it to full throttle, release the button then close the throttle. You do this while its not running btw

 

Everything in this beast is stock, I'd even bet that the tires are the same ones they rolled off the line on LOL, If anything works on it it's the fan, you can hear it kick on and stay on, so I don't think it's overheating, at least very much. Plus, it happens right after start up in the morning so it doesn't even get a chance to heat up. But thanks, good lookin out!

 

Nope, not yet but I sure will!

 

awesome, I was gonna get around to replacing them so two birds, one stone
