Default 01 Mustang GT not shifting right!!!!

Hey guys, i took my 01 GT out tonight and noticed when i had the pedal smashed to the floor to blow her out, it would dip down into the redline and i would have to let off her for her to shift it i remember correctly she would near the redline and it would shift right before! Does anyone have any advice on how to fix it or what problem this may be? [&:]

wait....first you say it goes into the red then you let off and it shifts, but then right after you say it shifts right before the redline....which is it? and if you mash the pedal down it isnt going to shift at 2k....

does it do this on both the 1-2 & 2-3 shift at WOT ??

the 1st mod you need to get is a trans cooler . I have a B&M SuperCooler .

edit : your trans will last twice as long w/ a cooler .

it happens to me occsionally. i think its mostly when it spins so much so my guess is due to traction, but idk jus sayin what i think, i never push it pas 6200 if i notice it.

dude one time the light was about to turn green n i had the line, so i slowed down to about 5 then it flicked green so i floored it, well i guess the gears were switching and i punched it, it shot up to like ****in 7 grand meaning it was in neutral and then it caught gear n ****in chirped my mickey thompsons going like 5 mph, CHIRPED MY M/TS ya i said it, lol i could never get them bitches to chirp unless on a turn, they stuck so good. its a wonder my rear end wasnt chilling back in the street after that ****
