What position did you have the shifter in? If you pull the shifter down into
1, it probably won't shift by itself(it's not supposed to, but if you hit
the rev limiter it might),you have to bump it up into second(2) when you
want it to shift out of first.If the shifter was in D, then something is
wrong with your tranny-pressure governor,valve body,plugged filter(very
highly unlikely on an '01),or like somebody else mentioned, your throttle
valve cable may need adjustment.Did you happen to move it when you put on
your intake system? The throttle valve cable seems like the most likely
possibility at this point and that is where I would start.Before I started
messing with stuff, I would let the dealer have a look.After all, it is
under warranty.If you start messing with stuff, and make it worse or break
something, they may not warranty it when you can't fix it.Hope this helps,
if you have any more specific questions,or need more info,please let me
know! TTYL,

Subject: DML: Shifting Problem or Just me?
Date: Wed, 24 Jan 2001 15:22:48 -1000
Help,
I am bascially illiterate when it comes to working on my truck but am slowly
learning through the DML. I have a question concerning my 2001 CC R/T. It
seems that if I floor it from a dead stop it doesn't want to shift out of
first. I tried this last night and it went to around 6k rpm's before I
backed it off to 2k rpm's and it shifted. My truck has done this a couple
of times before. Shouldn't it shift by itself? I have never had this
happen on any other vehicle that I have owned. Any suggestions? The only
modifications I have done to the engine is to add an intense performance
stage II intake.
TIA,
John Miller
01 Black CC R/T
