So iv'e got a 2000 Gt with the automatic transmission in it and im having a bit of a problem. when im at wot, the car doesnt want to shift out of first gear into second gear without hitting the rev limiter first. i have to let out of the gas some before the car will shift. ive tried loading a less aggresive tune on the tranny into my car, but same problem. this is the only issue with it and i hope to get it figured out soon. ive heard that it could possibly be the 1-2 shift solenoid. any thoughts?

if your using a handheld ,,such as sct tuner you can just change your shift points at wot ,i had same issue drop them down a little bit and you should be fine

Load the stock tune, then see where things stand...

what gears do you have? mine did the same before i gotta tuner and calibrated it for the 4.10's.

cliffyk

+1, if you have non-stock rear-end gears the shiftpoints will be all screwed up...

He has 4.10s in his car now but I think he said the other night that it did it before he put the 4.10s in.

the car has done it a few times when it was completely stock. yes it has 4.10's, its been calibrated for the gears. and i wont change my shift points and have a guessing game of when my car will actually shift out of first. i dont think the problem is in the tuning, but then again im not sure thats why i asked.

Im not sure if this would take care of your problem 100% or not but a Transgo Shift Kit does wonders (auto). IMO 1 of the best mods for any auto.

i know someone with one, never rode in the car but he loves it. i have the one picked out on summit, its only like 80 bucks or something, just havent had the free money yet to get one and have it put in. but its coming soon.

It prob aint the TRANSGO because mine was more than 80 & i got my direct (I'd go transgo) but regardless.... go to their website & im pretty sure they still have up a downloadable video showing you how to install the kit yourself. You'll need prob 6-8 bottles of automatic transmission fluid as well as several hours. I had no idea what the heck i was doing but i learned on the fly. Installed it okay w/ the help of one of my buddies, though he knew about as much as i did about cracking opening a transmission lol. Yea... i love it Im suprised more guys don't make threads about it. I know of only several, 1 of which i started.
