Got a friend with a recently purchased 94 LT1 9C1. 138k but seller claimed that he discovered the trans was an SRTA with low miles. Anyway.
Symptoms are the 2-3 shift was becoming "weird," specifically it began to flare pretty noticeably. This happened for about 2 weeks leading up to the current symptoms. He was sitting in stopped traffic for about 10 minutes and when traffic cleared, he discovered that after 2nd gear the car felt like it was in neutral.
This evening I brought my laptop with Datamaster to check everything out. No codes. But I noticed something funny. The shift solenoid commands look normal. And the active gear readout looks normal. However, when it goes into 3rd and feels like neutral, we discovered it's actually in first with no overrun clutch. And when it commands 4th, it's actually in 2nd.
Trans temp was always good and I didn't feel any slipping.
I don't think it's a 2-3 solenoid issue. I suspect a valve body with a plugged circuit...maybe. What say you guys?
