<< when I get going between 15-20 mph it
starts jumping like it's trying to get into 2nd gear, but won't shift until
I
give it a good dose of gas and then it jolts into second, then yesterday I
was racing a friend of mine's '86 Pontiac T.A. and it didn't shift from 2nd
to 3rd at all and shot up to 5500 rpm's until I got of the gas and finally
dropped in to 3rd. After that i stopped at a sunoco to get a pack of cigs,
and put it in park but didn't turn it off and when I got back in it to leave
I shifted to R in it wouldn't go any where, so I putted in N and it started
going foward, so I shut it off and cranked her back up and every thing was
fine again, but i still have the shifting problem, if yall have any
suggestions please reply, i could use the help. thanks >>
The first thing I would check is to see if it has the proper fluid level in
the tranny and I know on mine it has to be checked hot and in NEUTRAL not
park. I had a problem with mine when I first got it and the jerks didn't put
enough fluid in it and it acted some what like yours. However yours I believe
is a electronic shift and there may be a problem there especially if you can
shut it off and it corrects. Either way something is definitely wrong and I
would take it in for service..
