I have a 97 3000gt SL with an automatic. The transmission is shifting wierd from 2nd to 3rd gear. When accelerating it doesnt want to upshift from 2nd unless I let off the pedal and then it will drop in. Also when I am coming to a stop it doesnt want to downshift until I'm almost to a complete stop, like its stuck in 3rd gear?? I dont have a clue, I would think its something other than worn clutches but I'm lost. Please help Thanks

Could either be your TCU (transmission control unit) acting up or possible the transmission is just starting to go. I have had mine go on me before and it had similar problems. However, I also know someone with an ATX that had those same problems and it was just her TCU that needed to be fixed/replaced.

yea you need to check that TCU or swap it with a known good one. If that doesn't fix it you probably need a rebuild.
