i have recently noticed my monte is kinda bogging down in second gear when i am givin her shit just about anywhere... pulls like hell in first and then kinda bogs in 2 then pulls hard again in 3rd... and so on

am i just noticing something normal all of a sudden or could this be a problem brewin?

FWIW the monte has 53000K on it, tranny fluid looks good doesnt smell or anything.

You have 53 million miles on your car? Damn! :P

 

Are you putting in manual 2, or is this happening in OD?

Your 2nd gear ratio is 1.56:1. That's pretty tall and something I've always complained about with my car as well. First gear is nice and low at 2.92, and with the 3.33 final-drive, it feels great. Maybe the reason second feels so bad to you is because of the large ratio change from first to second. But third feels okay because the ratio change is relatively small (from 1.56 to 1:1).

a shift kit in an electronically controlled tranny won't do much, if anything for performance.
