Urgent Help needed - LS1 Auto Problems

[buggzy]

Last night after doing a few skids ( silly idea ) my gearbox wont change from 1st gear to second under any load, it wont down shift to second at all either if your in 3rd and down shift to 2nd it just free revs... if you take off really gently and at the point when its ment to change to 2nd you back right off the peddal, it will then change into second and then all the rest of the gears are fine.

Car is a VU SS gem III Automatic, maffless tune exhaust etc..

Does anyone have any ideas as this is my daily and i really need it to drive to work???

Have checked the trans fluid and its fine..

Please no silly comments yes i shouldnt have been thrashing my daily.

You might be better off posting this question in the VT-VX section not the ride area.

i think you have blown the fransmission up
take it to a trans specialist to diagnose it

any fault codes?

Sound slike what mine did about 6 weeks ago. Turned out to be 2nd gear destroyed.

Get it to trans place.

Good luck

time for a rebuild mate. Get the box worked and put a stally in

 

[Lumps of cheese]

Didn't take much to stuff it, as above put a stronger one in, better for towing.
Oh, and skids if that's your thing

how come everyone is saying to put a stally in? isnt this going to make it a pig around town to drive? and i thought the only advantage to one was at the drags anyway?
