Tranny shifts fine on 1 to 2 (Hard) On the 2 to 3 shift under heavy throtle the tranny flares for just a second...Does not slip, or anything after that...It is worse with less TV Cable pressure.....So I run it as tight as I can, but when I floor it, it pulls the cable out, so I constantly readjust it...ANYWAY, what are the possible causes of 2 to 3 flare up???? I know the tranny is high milage, but am hoping to not rebuild it for awhile longer....Thanks for any ideas on this subject, Tom

 

Don't know the answer to the question but have exactly the same problem, I'd call mine a lazy shift from second to third. For all I know it's designed in from the factory. Hope the fix is something simple like a shift kit or some sort of adjustment.

Ive already got a shift kit, and a corvette servo, It shifts great all other times 1 to 2, ans 3 to 4......I keep thinking there could be something sticking inside......There was no gunk in the pan when the fluid, and filter was changed, nor when the shift kit was put in.........I know I have a rebuild in the future, but not yet...I can drive it like this for a long time im sure, but I dont like it when im at the track, or in a hurry....lol....Thanks again, Tom

 

if the tach is flaring between 2nd and 3rd, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the 3-4 clutches are probably on their way out. Went through it on my 92. good news is it is a relatively cheap repair.

 

Kinda knew that, but was hoping it was a sticking valve....Guess I can have just a minium done to it right now, or just drive like a normal person for awhile..(Damn that is no fun) It has been this way for over 20,000 miles now....Did you do just the clutchs, or did you do a complete rebuild????Thanks, Tom
