No that was str8 through, I didn't lift off the throttle at all, it just kinda jerked into second gear

[biggz2332]

I'm back I did the tranny flush, and that damm sure didn't help still doing what it was doing before, I think it's mechanically on it's way out

No it is not blinking, wat does it mean when it blinks

[1992maximase30]

when it blinks it means the transmission control unit has a code meaning one of the sensor's or solenoids is malfunctioned etc.

yea no P blinking, but I know it's mechanically going because reverse is beginning to fail

[1992maximase30]

aww man. yea they say thats one of the signs. that sucks

good luck finding a VE to get a tranny from. often times there are none at the JY near me, tho you're lucky it's a/t and not m/t, cuz i've only ever seen 1 VE5 at the JY near me. but i guess it's cheaper than getting it rebuilt. WORST CASE scenario you can use a 4th gen tranny and just swap the bellhousing from your VE tranny and use a non-LSD driverside axle (may be the same as a 4th gen axle, but not 100% sure). If you do that you might need to get the diff bearing preload adjusted by a tranny shop, but that's still cheaper than a full rebuild. [Aaron92se is running a VE auto tranny on a VQ engine so it will work in the reverse as well as long as you swap the bellhousing.]

I've come across engines, so I hope trannies show up to

Back with ma update Well I filled up this supposingly 18.1 gallon tank although I only got 15 gallons in their and it was above the "F", anyhow after I damm near empty out my gask tank it was reading 260 miles my calculation 260/15= 17.3 miles per gallon and I know thats not efficient at all, but I also notice that when I'm crusing at 70 the RPM is at about 3200, and that I believe is the problem(transmission failing)

i guess, cuz even if you had the wrong tire size, the relatioship between your tach and speedometer would remain the same. not that i know if you have a non-stock tire size anyhow.

That doesn't sound right to me. My max is within 75 MPH when I reach 2500 RPM and near or on 85 MPH when it's at 3000 RPM.

But I do get around 12-15 MPG most likely due to an exhaust leak and a bad O2 sensor (which I will fix next week). Don't know if running the car with a bad exhaust system would make a big difference.

EDIT: Just noticed that biggz has a VE engine while I have a VG. So my info won't be that helpful

hmm i guess a/t does rev lower doesn't it? I was thinking about 5th gear on my car. I remember that 45mph locked up in OD was 1600rpm on my automatic. VE might have a shorter final drive tho (on manual it's 3.65 VG and 3.83 VE, i think)
