Guy's I just had this tranny installed on my vehicle. Let me first tell you the events as they took place.
After tranny was installed and fluid checked out ok I took the car out for a spin (nothing radical) all shifts were crisp (ok head snapping crisp). All shifts occurred normal RPM/MPH wise. However, I did notice that the speedometer was not functioning. Took it back and we disconnected the cables and made sure all was ok. Reconnected everything back, took it for a ride, again all was working fine then it stopped working again. Re-did the same procedure again. Finally it was working. Took the car home and noticed the speedometer needle was working for a while then quit then start working again. It seem to do this whenever I went over some bumps. At this point, tranny is still shifting good.
I drove the car for another fews days to get in used to the feel of the tranny. After about 3-4 days I notcied the tranny was not shifting the same as when I first took it home. I asked the shop if the speedometer cable not functioning had anything to do with it, they said no. Anyway I went ahead and took the car back to get the speedometer fixed (which they did) and went home.
Still had the higher shifts (RPM and MPH wise). I tried messing with the TV cable to no avail. Also, the OD gear will not activate (around 55 MPH) until l back off the throttle some. Shoud it not activate around 45 mph?
I plan to call the shop tomorrow to let them know of my issue and will be taking the car back tomorrow or Monday to get this resolved.
Just thought I ask if some of you guys may have an idea of what may have changed in the tranny? I did do a few 3/4 WOT blasts. But I can't recall exactly if I notcied this problem during while I was driving the car or after it was park.
Anyway, I hope I made some sense out of this.
Thanks guys!
