WOT ?

Hey guys,
not sure if this is a ignition problem or trans. At wot around 6 grand in any gear like 1-2. It's trying to shift into the next gear and takes a few seconds to do so. The trans is a rebuilt 700r4 with a 2800 stall my ignition is MSD.

Re: WOT ?

probably the trans. Check the fluid level
Are you manually shifting it at 6k and it takes long to shift?

I did check the fluid and its topped off, also noticed tiny bubbles on the dip stick not sure that's a problem? And I forgot to mention this happens at both manual shifting and leaving it in over-drive. If I drive normally it does not happen.

Re: WOT ?

I'll re check the detent cable, but the trans probley has only 500 miles or so on it. And I actually bought the a rebuilt kit several years ago from Dana and had a trans shop rebuild it for me.
