97 grand prix gt wont hit 3rd

Talk about the other 3800 powered GM cars, particularly for items not covered in other sections that may be unique to your year/model, and differ from a Bonneville.

97 grand prix gt wont hit 3rd

Post by jrlugo45 »

so heres my next issue guys. i replaced the vaccume modulator and all vaccume lines, changed tranny fluid and filter. the problem is it wont hit 3rd gear until the rpms hit about 3500, this is hard to get in town at 30mph but it really isnt a problem on the highway. any ideas?
