I hacve been driving my Z28 to work once or twice a month and will do speeds of 80 - 85 avarage on the highway. My problem is that I am running @ 3200 - 3600 RPM when she does drop to 2200 2400 its olnly for a short period and once it depress the accelerator she kicks back to avg 3400 RPM seems to be like its not achieving Lock up - I may drop $ 1500 on a new TCI streetfighter soon but I don't want to just waste my money What RPM's do you guys average |

Has anyone checked you tv cable. The mechanic said I need a new tranny because she did not go into od and shifted like shit. Well Dennis and Manny took her for a spin and adjusted the cable. High rpm and crappy shifting was gone. Result tranny is fine |

Ed..ever get this looked into?..I was reading up on some tranny stuff and remembered you had a prob...I would check out the whole lockup circuit ( ie: lockup solenoid, relay etc..) or you can have someone wire in a manual switch inside ur car and u can manually lock it up urself (that's how my clown car is done)... This is what i was reading...it also tells you how to test the lockup: http://www.babcox.com/editorial/bf/bf90054.htm That was a GREAT article...

I actually just resolved the issue or I should say its being resolved now. I brought it in for the tranny to Citywide trans in Yonkers getting a full rebuild and discovered that 2nd and 4th gear was shot, also he assumes that the engine has had cam work (i have no idea) and we agreed to put in a 2000 sp converter - in addition rear gears will be upgraded to 3.42 hoped to have it back this weekend for the headers but its not gonna happen. |

kool...So he told you that you might have a cam eh? I wanna see and hear your motor next time...sometimes it's very hard to tell if you have a cam..but tell tale signs are if the timing cover looks like its been taken off before, and depending how big the cam is..you can hear the chop... or maybe your idle is rough and you need a tune up or something... |

Well if youre going to hollow them out, thats fine, I dont have a cat either, just a 3" peice of pipe. But if you actually put youre stock 18yr old cat on there, it kind of defeats the purpose of a "high flow system" |

SFC's are in and they look great the mechanic Ron painted up my oiil & tranny pans and sprayed my frame with some black paint that made it look like new they where starting on the headers today he's gonna fab up a straight piupe for the cats the original ones have been welded on now twice already the good news is they were already hollowed out so i passed the last emisions like that. He worked late today on it and promised it by tuesday it would be ready Maybe we can make the exhaust clip on tuesday night if all goes well I'm hoping for that VW bus kind of growl that screams "world peace" |
