Weird Shifts
Well a couple weeks ago I was cruising on some country roads. I made a wrong turn so I pulled into a driveway and turned around. Well something weird happened after that turn around, because when I got onto the road I wanted to be on, I opened her up. Instead of the usual 4200RPM shifts I get, the tranny didn't shift until 4800-4900. I have no problem with this because my engine still has some potential past 4200. However i was worried something was going to get screwed up so I checked and adjusted my TV cable.
Now it shifts at 4200 again, but when I'm just doing some low speed cruising around town, it shifts really weird. Normally when it shifts, your body moves forward as it switches do a different gear. When my transmission shifts, it feels like my body stays forward, as if it never catches. I also can't tell when it catches, but it obviously does because I keep accelerating. It also downshifts really hard when I brake so I believe its the 1-2 and 2-3 clutch thats goin out. What do you guys think?
