  • trans rebuild question

    i have a 98 firebird automatic

    starting to shift really hard into 2nd
    after long drives
    also on the highway it will not always shift up/down for passing and such

    it would always chug along around 2500 rpm @ 120 km/h
    now 3000 rpm , so my shiity gas mileage is worse now

    any input would be great

    is there a rebuild kit available

    TCC valve. do a search, its cheaper to fix that now while its early.

    So I don't have to retype everything.

    another symptom of the tcc is not shifting into overdrive/ or not causing converter lockup to happen in overdrive, hence the change in your rpms. One way to tell is if you can hear the converter lock and unlock prior to the transmission heating up. Lemme know if you have any other questions.

      You can also do a Transgo shift kit which is 3rd&4th bands and a corvette servo which is 1st&2nd bands. It will make your shifts firmer and quicker which will make the tranny last longer in the end.
