Hello.

Some advice needed for a hot rodder friend of mine in Europe.

Car is a '82 Camaro Z28 with 454 and TH-400 from a '87 truck. As there are no experienced people in Estonia, I hope you people are able to generate some ideas.

A feature of the car can be found at:
http://tqhq.ee/est/cars/lauri.htm

It is in Estonian of course, but the names'n'numbers are the same across the Atlantic too!

- TH-400
It has a rather interesting behaviour:
"D" - Starts on 2nd, then shifts to 3rd ok.

"2" - Starts on Low when in WOT, upshifts to 2nd at 3500 rpm, and stays on 2nd, of course

"1" - 3rd gear all the way. What??

Any ideas?

Thanks for your time,

I would check the detent(kickdown)cable.Check for a loose or unhooked cable or try adjusting it.
If all is fine concerning the cable it more then like could be the trans going out.
