lately my tranny has been acting weird. if i punch it off the line the rev limiter will starting hitting a my car won't shift to 2nd until i let off the throttle. as soon as i let off the throttle it shifts perfect. but when the pedal is to the floor the limiter will hit. this is only on the 1-2 shift.. is there a way to reset the comp to fix this. anyone else ever have this problem.. need help asap

That is weird. When I put my 'Bird into 1st, it will automatically shift into 2nd when I hit 5500 RPMs.1995 Firebird 3.8 A4, 140,000 miles and going strong<br />Basically Stock, college=poor <p>Junior Mechanical Engineering Student: Milwaukee School of Engineering; Cpl, MN Army National Guard...just got promoted :) -
VSS might be going wack or your trans is slipping. Try resetting the PCM. It actually worked for me. I had some low voltage problem causing all kinds of things to not work properly. After I fixed it I was hitting the rev limiter like you are now. I reset the pcm and did 2 drive cycles. It was still hitting right after the reset. Second time it fixed itself. I don't know if it was related. Just worth a shot I guess.Comment

i hope that my tranny doesn't need a rebuild. it's only got 57,000 miles on it. this doesn't happened all the time. i think my comp is acting up. i'm going to reset to the comp tommorow and see how things go..97 CAMARO RS<br />12.9@103mph<br />best 60ft..1.9 ( on street tires)<br /> 1.7 (on gas)<br />turbo supra 12.5@119mph (street tires)<br />new times to come sporting the sp63gtComment

It's a long shot as I said. I had a loose wire to the alternator. Fixed it and it still hit the rev limiter. I reset the PCM. Two drive cycles means that I drove after I reset the PCM and stopped. Let the car cool and drove again. Could have been just a huge coincedence though.Comment

To add to what Dom said, I think a single drive cycle is about 75 miles.<b>1998 Firebird 3800 Series II, A4</b><br />Direct-Flo Lid,K&N Filter,DEE TB Spacer,TPS-TEC,ZZP Mini-AFC,Raised and Cutout Airbox 7mm,BMR STB & Boxed LCAs,KYB AGX Shocks,Drilled/Slotted Rotors,180* Thermo,2.5\" Catco Cat,Dynomax 2.75\" custom catback,Kumho Ecstas/245,Jet Stage 2,3.42,Edge Racing 2870 Stall,B&M Tranny Cooler,B&M Deep Tranny Pan,LSD,AAM Girdle,1LE DS,NX Wet Kit,MSD DIS-4,MSD Blaster Coil Packs,Taylor Spiro Pro 8mm Wires,NGK TR6\'S gapped .045,ZZP UD WP Pulley,SLP Fan Switch,TT II\'s<br />N/A: 15.6342 @ 88.44 (On stock converter.

Mine does it once in a while. Probably five times since I've had it (four years). It hits it on the 2-3 shift. Sometimes long enough for me to realize what its doing, and to let off the gas a little...
Not a hard hit like when I manually held it down in 1st too long (twice... in four years...).
