vn calais 5 litre
hey guys i took my car out today and my trans started playing up on me what happens is it wont change from first to 2nd until it hits 4000rpm and same for 3rd n 4th it usually changes gear when it gets to 2 n a half 3000 rpm. also when im driving at about 60k ive got like what seems to be a clutch and play in acceleration for example im sittin on 60 2000rpm if i back off it just revs untill im back at 2000rpm again like its slippin but its not. ive got a stage 2 shift kit in it as well. im pretty sure the trans may be on its way out but i dont want to take the car to jus any trans joint an get ripped off. so any help would be much appreciated thanks matt.

mine was playing up sort like how you described so i serviced it and tightened my thrttle cable and kickdown cable and now its running pretty good. Check your trans fluid level, drive it till it registers normal driving temp then see if it reads Full Hot on the dip stick.
