  1. Well heres my situation. About a month ago I installed a transgo hd2 shift kit with 2 washers as well as a corvette servo. Ever since I did the install I was a little dissappointed in it's performance. When shifting from 1st to 2nd it seemed to shift alright but it did not seem to shift any firmer than stock. And when I was really on the throttle it seemed to shift even slower. Well at that point I talked to a few people and they told me that it just needed to be tuned, but that just driving it like that for a little while would not cause any damage to the transmission. Well last weekend I went fourwheeling and pulled an enclosed trailer. It wasn't terribley heavy but at one point the tranny still seemed to get a little warm around 200 degrees. After this I noticed it didn't seem to shift out of first gear until about 4500 rpm, later I realized this was because it was shifting directly from 1st to 3rd. I can't seem to do anything to make it shift into 2nd. Also it should be noted that when I am doing about 40 to 50mph and hit the throttle it downshifts and then it seems to come out of gear and hit the rev limiter. At this point I am very confused with what is going on. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, and sorry about the long post. P.S. do you guys think that I am doing any more damage to it buy driving it without it going to second gear, cause it is my daily driver and I may not have a chance to work on it till next weekend. Thanks again for any help!
  2. At real low throttle I can feel it shift a little firmer, but when I get on the throttle it shifts real slow in all gear changes. It kinda feels like it could be the Torque Management kicking in, but I wouldn't think that it would apply enough to make the shifts even slower than stock. I haven't been able to get my PCM tuned yet thats workin into the budget for next month, but I don't want to burn up my tranny in the mean time. Also it downshifts awesome, if I kick it down at 30 it slams down into gear and takes off right away. I guess maybe I'll just have to wait and get it tuned and see if that fixes it.
  3. I just installed a transgo shift kit on my truck and now it seems to shift even slower than before . It doesn't seem to slip at all while in gear but when it shifts it takes a really long time. I can't figure it out, has anybody else had this problem, and if so did they find a solution, cause I gotta get it figured out before I burn up the bands in my tranny. Any advise would be helpful right now. Right now being a newbie I can't make a new post for this so I figured this would probably be the best place for it.
  4. Hey guys, I purchased a bone stock 03 SS fairly recently and have been kinda cruising the site for info on mods and such. So far been very impressed with the amount of knowledge here. I'm finally startin to get some money saved too put into the truck, I'm thinkin of probably buyin myself some early christmas presents, so I'll definetly be on here more often in the near future.
  5. Hey, I just purchased my SS and am wondering if you still have one of the sport kits available and if you know what the shipping would be to Columbus, IN zip 47201?
