Sticking Tranny

[RedCavalierRacer]

One day i was driving down the road and just to listen to my exahust I punched it at a stop light. When i got into 2nd gear it usually shifts at about 65 mph but this time I heard my engine whining out and it finnally shifted at 80 - 85 mph. I dont know what that could be but everyone keeps telling me that my transmission is sticking. I dont know hwhat that is, but i hope there is something i can do about it,

well my tranny does that too. it will go to 6500rpms in every gear, it is an auto.

take your foot off the gas there speed racer and the trans will shift

[jayson716]

yea i agree but when i run at the track i dont mind that getting max power at high rpms.

[RedCavalierRacer]

Well i know that if i take my foot off the gas it will shift, i was just wondering if there is anything wrong with my tranny? or does a lot of peoples tranny do that? If i get up to 80 mph in 2nd gear you dont think that will blow my engine do you?

as long as you're not bouncing it off the rev limiter, you should be ok, but 6,500 rpm in a quad-4 is just asking for big repair bills.

hey jayson, what size rims and what size tires are those on your cavalier? i like those. I was thinking about getting some rims for my car, but i don tknow what would look better. 17' rims or 18' rims

[jayson716]

18 i think 205/40s maybe i will get back to you but 18" rims

[RedCavalierRacer]

oh ok, i was just wondering what size tires i would need to put on my car, i know at most 19's will fit but to much for tires
ill just go with the 18's thank you

[jayson716]

cool. 18s are nice.

[jayson716]

also with 18s you can drop i think up to 2" without tire rub.

I bought these things off ebay the other day and i dont know where to put them It says coil over springs, but i dont know where they go, it said it will drop my car about 2 inches

[RedCavalierRacer]
