AWeb80 Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 It has been having shift problems from 1 to 2. EVERY other gear works perfect. even the down shift from 2 to 1 is perfect....just the upshift is delayed like a MOTHERFUCKER. here is a quick vid...I was at...maybe...40% throttle at the most....should have shifted at 2500 RPM....then when it did shift at 4k, it rev'd up before going to second. If I get to 15mph or so, throw it into N, then back to drive it will fall in to second or third, whatever is normal for that speed/throttle input, and work fine. If I go WOT, it will bounce off the rev limiter about 15 times before it will shift. It did this a few times before I left for Toledo this past weekend, now it's every time. Leander helped me rebuild this ~9K miles ago....I was really hoping for a trouble free trans for a long time. any ideas? [video=youtube;ilTskQ3xeI4] Just drove it again tonight.....the more I think about it, I wonder if the line going to the accumulator came off so it's not getting enough pressure to shift on time......or maybe the shim I have inside the 1-2 is blocking something...or a spring broke.... Every other shift is fine....just the 1-2 upshift is delayed. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I had the same problem but never looked into it. I would think if the accumulator line was off or something happened to that, it would mess up every gear and just the 1-2 upshift. Maybe its a shift solonoid?

Go4DaMo Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Man, sorry to hear this problem's gotten worse since Toledo. Hope it's a simple fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Easiest thing to do at this point is pull out the accumulator assy and check for broken springs or a seal/ gasket issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWeb80 Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 yep, that's what I'm going to do.....in a few months when I feel like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWeb80 Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 bump for any more possible ideas. I think I 'may' have time to drop the pan, acum. and take a looksee.....in about 3 weeks. I really hope shit isn't stuck in the valve body...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
