VS auto holding 2nd gear to long

[bandit10]

nope still the same, holds 2nd gear right in to the red (approx 100kmh) doesnt want to change up. If im cruising at 100km and floor it, it will kick down to 3rd and go fine it just seems to be having trouble changing up out of 2nd under load.... confused.com..! lol

my t700 was doing this i just fitted a shiftkit and tidied it up shes all go again dont know what exact part did it cause ive gone full manual there was one checkball had blown out of its special holder may have helped when i fitted that back in i changed so many valves and springs i cant say which to look at

thanks delco, a friend of mine did suggest fitting a shift kit but it feels like i would be chucking money at a dead box at the moment if that makes sense.. i guess if it doesnt fix it i could always pull the valve body out and put it in a new gearbox.

yeah can swap it over to a new box it could be something real simple thats stuck in the valvebody.if its not free reving just getting stuck in 2nd like mine was its probably got plenty of life left yet mines like new again now pan was real clean magnet had a bit of **** on it but yeah pan was sparkly clean

ok so looks like a shift kit is the go.. do you think a stage 2 would have the same effect? id rather not go full manual with the T700 (would much rather do a proper T5 manual conversion)
