I have a 2002 Camaro v6. I have searched the forum and found nothing. I noticed my transmission won't shift from 1st and 2nd till I hit about 3k rpms and thats taking it easy on the pedal. She has 155k on it and just never had a car take so long to shift was curious if any one here could shed some light on the whole thing.

 

have you had a service engine light come on? check trans fluid. have it scanned for trouble codes. parts store should scann it for you for free. it can be a few things. vss/speed sensor, throttle position sensor, map/maf, or it could be internal to the trans

 

Did the transmission fluid when I bought it last year has all clean fluid no engine light or anything will look into things you listed though thank you

 

It could be that it shifting from first to third,skiping second. Does it have fourth gear? what about reverse?

 

It goes through all of the gear just takes it a bit to go into em never had a auto trans shift like that

 

if it were a 700r4 i would say the tv cable needs adjusting. 4l60e is electronic. stopping by a trans shop may be in order.

 

In your transmission the shifts are controlled by a combination of hydraulic pressure and computer data. If something is not allowing pressure to build like it should it will cause a delayed shift. So it could be a sticky valve in the valve body, a leaking accumulator or a clutch pack not holding pressure. Both the valve body and accumulator can be worked on with the trans in the car. Everything else is a rebuild.

A good transmission tech can run pressure test and make a educated guess on where the pressure is dropping. He would also verify that the PCM is telling it to shift at the correct time. The challenge will be to find a transmission mechanic that will really look at it and not just tell you that you need a rebuild.
