| Post subject: | Almost no power in first |
Ok for starters this is an automatic 1g. The other night went out beat on the car a bit then i noticed i had no power in first. Its really slow to get going. If i nudge the car forward at a stop it feels notchy. The transmission is not slipping it simply takes forever to get up to speed, once into boost she still pulls like a raped banshee in all gears even 1st. I did a boost leak, compression test, checked plugs, transmission level, checked for shaft play, and they all are fine so im stumped why i have no power in 1st. Any help would be awesome. |

Is it in limp mode (third gear start)? -John |

It is not in limp mode (but thats how 1st feels), it goes through all gears, I have a shift box so this is what it does in manual or auto mode. if im at a stop and i try to pull forward just a little bit then it will move forward jerky until like 2mph. Stalls to 2500 but when i let go theres no power still. Im pretty sure it is a transmission or torque converter issue but not sure which or whats going on |
