Default Tranny?

I've got a 95 gt.. When I launch it from a dead stop it seems like its in at least 2cd gear... But I count the shifts and it seems to start from 1st then shifts to 2cd then drive.. Is it because I have really high gears? It won't even leave rubber unless I got the wheel turned drastically to the side. Sound good and doesn't studded so I'm stumped.

You've got to put some work and money into it if you want to put some power down.

Definatly the 5 speed trans is much better in these cars than that aode. That auto trans is a slush box. A good set of rear gears like 4.10 on an auto can drastically improve performance of these cars.

I got my 94 with out an engine, found an 89 block , and before I had it ready to be dropped in I installed 3.73 gears in mine. Even the 5 speed benefits greatly from steeper gears.

Even then after the engine was in and running I didn't pick up and real power until the long tubes , o/r H , flowmasters , and gt40 intake was installed. That made a whole different beast out of it.
