i have a 96v-8 5.7 lt1 camaro with a auto trany. it dont like shifting into 2nd unless u let off the gas at high rpms. so i was wondering if there is anything i can do to fix this with out a trany swap and if not what what kind of transmission are in the v-8s i was also wondering if a t-5 out of an 84 camaro work cuz i got one on a shelfand at the moment i dont have to much money to got trany shopping

 

it is a 4L60E that is in the v-8 and the t-5 wont work it is not built strong enough check you fluids you might not have enough

 

well my fluids are good i was talking to a guy that was friends with the previs owner of the car and he said those tranys stock dont hold up to anything pushing over 400 hp and he said the car that i bought for 4500 has over 400 hp hes said its the sirvos that dont hold up. since my t-5 wont hold up and now i got to save money for a rebuild i was going to throw in a shift kit what brand would be the best

 

New Sticky at the top of this section, check it out and try it, it may help you.

 

I had a similar problem. My car shifted to 3rd after letting off the gas and i dident have OD. If this is the case for u its most likly a band in the tranny is broke. 2nd and 4th run on the same band if the band breaks then u wont have either of the gears if its just 2nd then it most likly a shift sylanoid.

I dont see the servo going bad before something else.they use corvette servos in these trannys.

 

ok so i went to get a price on a rebuild. 1500 and thats with the trany out of the car and me putting it in and no touqrconverter. and i just cant put in a stock trany cuz the car has over 10000 dollars of add ons and motor work done to the car. so i priced around not much cheaper at anyother place i went to and two of the places said its not just my trany but my computer to cuz its been reprogramed of the different size tires and the gearing in the rear end. one person said a chip would fix that problem and that coast about 400 just for the chip. and a short time later my trany that was giving me problems went to hell i lost 2 3 and 4th so now my 4500 dollar car ant so hot anymore and i am a little pissed that i could cost my over 2000 to get it back on the road. my questioncould my computer be part of the problem and if so would a chipfix that problem and how hard is it to install a chip

 

ok i bit the bullet and had my trany rebuilt new torqr converter and a shift kit installed. well now the car moves but the problem is still there so i am now thinking it might be my computer. i found a web sight https://www.700r4l60e.com/store/home.php?cat=64and this is what it says "This Street/Strip (Full Manual) Shift kit allows you to select the firmness you desire, and you can hold any gear to any rpm, or backshift to any gear. Comes with vacuum modulator. For transplant or use with no electrical (computer). This kit is matched to your particular motor, torque converter, rear end gear ratio, etc., and how you drive. So when ordering, make sure you fill out the questionaire, so that I can match this kit to your particular vehicle & driving requirements. This "modified" Shift kit offers additional information, eight Torlon checkballs to replace the steel checkballs that damage the valve body separator plate, valve body gaskets, Viton D-rings for the Corvette servo, and EPC solenoid filter. This kit allows you to hold any gear to any rpm, or backshift to any gear. 10" or smaller torque converter recommended here for the best results. LS1's & 1994-1996 Impala's already have the Corvette servo. If you do not already have the Corvette servo, I would add one now, or the Sonnax 1-2 servo. See LS1-4L60E Upgrades for this." they are asking about $200 for it and i was wondering if this could fix my problem

95slvrZ28told you about this, and if you read the first part you will wish you would have paid attention.

 

Thats got over 400hp? Whats been done?

 

i have tryed that and it didnt help infact after i tryed adjusting it i lost 2 3 and 4th and i had to get it rebuilt

the motor has head work pistons intake bigger injectors and bigger fuel pump bored .30 over and the computor has been programed for it all. This is all done by the person who i got the car from, and he has built a hand full of drag car and high powered mud trucks the guy live acrossed town from me
