So did this fix the problem with your shifting from 1st to 2nd?

The more threads I read in this fourm about problems with the GA, the more I'm starting to think I should have bought a different car.

Yeah and no. It shifts instantly in all gears now, but while it's in second it likes to surge a little bit, like it'll accelerate, then pause, accelerate, then pause. My bodykit should be at my work in a couple weeks so I'm just gonna take it there then and have em do both at once.

I went to the dealer and asked one of the guys there how much would it cost to get the pressure control solenoid and the guy said about a grand. Forget that. Im just gonna wait till i have enough money and buy the tranny from domestic performance. That should fix things.

Here's a few better clips..

first one is a slow 1-2 shift.. second shows 2-3 is fine.. third another 1-2 from a stop

EXACTLY like mine!

eric99gt · 07-07-2004, 08:55 AM

looks like mine as well.

AznGA · 07-07-2004, 09:05 AM

Does throttle position sensor have to do with this?

iceman · 07-07-2004, 10:01 AM

I doubt it, never had problems with the tps readings

Vintalage · 07-07-2004, 10:43 AM

I think mine is doing this too now that I look at your recent clip.

killerhound · 07-07-2004, 10:21 PM

Seth, it seems from the clip when the slippage is all done and it finally catches, it drops a few more RPMS before finally climbing again. Is that true? Mine is doing that, although mine doesn't slip for as long before it drops and catches again.

AznGA · 07-07-2004, 10:26 PM

Can't believe so many people are experiencing this.

iceman · 07-07-2004, 10:27 PM

yeah when it catches the RPMS drop slightly.. i guess that's expected, picking up for lost speed ??

killerhound · 07-08-2004, 04:43 AM

Yeah that could be. My kit should be in by next week so I'm taking my car back to have them do Round 2 on it. Mine isn't slipping as long as yours does, but it's annoying knowing that it is doing it.

Hell you could have the whole transmission rebuilt for that. Almost.

blckgagt · 07-12-2004, 07:31 PM

yes i realize that i could just get mine rebuilt, but i plan on adding boost, so rebuilding it would be a waste of money.

iceman · 07-29-2004, 12:30 PM

I have a question... how does KR look on anyone havin these shift problems??

Like a horses ass, 6 degrees plus before i put in the new DHP PCM. But I think the rest is exhaust/spark plug related.

I got more knock in gear that I do during a shift.

iceman · 07-29-2004, 01:12 PM

Well reason I asked is because since my KR is gone.. I don't notice the 1-2 slip as much. Maybe I haven't driven enough. I have to drive relatively far tonight, I'll do a little uhm.. road testing

I sware to god that 9 out of every 10 shifts is ****ty but there is always 1 thats is perfect. its like clockwork.
