well i just had my trany rebuilt from a shop that i trust, meanin they won't try to screw me but am not sure if tey did things right, anyway i had it rebuilt and now if i shift into third at any RPM above 4k it zipps into gear, it doesn't grind but rather zipps, if i shift under 4k RPMs then everything is fine. the trany it self is a bit notchy overall, but tha maybe because it's still new. so my question why is third givin me a problem. right now i am thinkin of replacing it with a used one but i don't have the 500 to do that. I HATE MY CAR!!! later "Z"
