3.1 slapping 2nd gear
ok, i've got a question. my RS (3.1 v6, 700R4) will "slap" into second gear like it has a shift kit at WOT, but goes nice and smooth into 3rd at WOT. i've actually heard it chirp going into 2nd before. i'm wondering why it does this?? is something wrong with the tranny??

RE: 3.1 slapping 2nd gear
if your are stock suspension you would be surprised how easy it is to chirp even good tires. a sudden jolt of torque will lift your axle up, decreasing the weight on those tires significantly. your tranny may or may not be shifting too hard. it sounds alot like just an older car running the way its going to run. it may be due to wear on an old engine, but i wouldnt worry too much about it.

Different gears have different fluid pressures. Maybe that is why it "slaps" into second.
Also do you have anything done on your race car there that would affect the lock up converter? A locked converter is making it a direct drive with no slippage and will cause tires to chirp.
