WOT Shifting from 2ed to 3ed

For the past while now when I go WOT the car will shift from 1st to 2ed no problem but from 2ed to 3ed is another story, I have to let off on the gas or else it will go up and beyond the red line, I can't remember if it shifts fine from 3ed to 4th or not (its been a year since I drove the car). If someone could please tell me what could cause this it would be great. I seen a post here earlier of someone who bought a car and it was doing the same thing.

Thanks, Trent

Re: WOT Shifting from 2ed to 3ed

I had my 700r4 rebuilt a year ago by Mister Transmission, and they F*$%ed it up real good. I've got the exact same problem as you do. Its like it go's into a neutral slip while shifting from 2nd gear into 3rd, and when it does go into 3rd, it hits really hard... Anyway I've taken the car back there 5 or 6 times to them to fix the shifting problems and others too. These F***in mechcanics can't even fix there own Sh*t!

So this spring I'm taking the car/transmission to a performance shop to get it fixed/re-rebuilt!!! $$$$-this sucks!
