So when I get on thegas I noticed that my car doesn't shift till it hits about 5 grand. When I bought the car off my freind he said that it had a shift kit installed on it. It is a 1984 trans Am. I also noticed it shifts hard from first to second and that sometimes the tires will bark when doing so. But my main concern is it ok that it shifts so late when I jump on the gas? Thanks

 

me to i put it in drive and i jumps kind of but then it wont like shift out of first in to second in less i almost floor it then it goes.A friend told me that the trans is gone.It needs to be rebuilt.

 

Yours definately sounds like a bad transmission dude sorry to hear that. Very painful. Anyway I think mine just needs an adjustment so I'm gonna look into it.

 

when you go wot the tranny will shift a little later, around 5.5k on my v6.
