Installed the shiftkit and converter this weekend. Just got back from a test run and this is the out come.....

Just easin around it felt ok I guess, this is the first time in a truck/car with a converter, First time eased into it and spun like crazy, But when it was suposed to shift into 2nd it just hit the rev limiter(5800, normal shift points).
Came back to the house and programed the shift points at 6k and 1-2 down 6mph and 2-3 shift down 6mph.
Took it for a test run again and stalled it up this time, and the 1-2 shifted, but when in 2nd gear had no power at all. It just really fell on its face. Then from the 2nd to 3rd shift shifted fine and pulled 3rd like a mother.
Come back pulling in the drive way the truck just starts surging and shuts off. I crank it back and right as I pull up to my shop it does it again. crank it back then it (just idles) fine.

Is this normal or have a really f'ed this thing up? Any coments would be greatly appreciated.

 

Interested in knowing the answer on this as well. Since this is the next mod for my truck.

 

You using the hpp3 right? The shifts will be smoother and more powerful throughout with a professional tune

As for the surging and shutting off... idk, never heard of that.

 

Mine surged and shut off a couple of times the day my converter got installed.. Never did it again after that.. not sure if its normal or not.. as far as it falling on its face.. at what speed does it do it.. when my converter locked up it felt really week...

 

I just got back from another test run. I didnt do any thing to the truck just let it cool a little. The trip up the road was just a puut puut. There was no surging or dieing. Turned around and spun the tires over to get the dirt and mud off. Hit it and once again spun like crazy. (I love it) came time to shift from 1 to 2 and hit the rev limiter once and shifted. Then fell on its face again. Got back home and surged once and thats all. I"m not sure what the speed is but it just seems to stay tached up around the 4k range. I put in the vette servo but didnt put in a servo release check valve. Could that be the problem?

 

ya... bc the tranny isnt getting enough fluid in the particular area to pick up the truck in the next gear

 

Yea that does sound right, But I though every one was just getting the servo. I never read anything about the check valuve. Any one else?

 

I have a similar problem when I shift into 3rd,delayed shift and no power.I would like to know if this is required since I installed both corvette and OD servo.

 

This is what the check valve says "
SONNAX® 77701-076 700R4, 4L60E Servo Release Check Valve. Helps reduce 3-4 clutch failure."
So how could this do anythig with the 2nd gear?

 

hmm... not too sure anymore... You used ALL the parts in the transgo kit right?
