I could go for one of those beers right now.

 

Did this shop rebuild your tranny? The part that allows the transmission is the corvette servo, which I believe keeps the line pressure high enough to allow shift into 4th at WOT. So, adjusting the TV cable will do this, but your tranny will fry. Your TV cable needs to be set to maintain transmission pressure, perios, not for WOT use. The Corvette servo does this, and the transmission shop should have known this, and if they rebuilt your transmission should have put corvette parts in it. IMHO.

 

We agree on something. It certainly wasn't me that suggested the transmission. I never suggested that I was. I initially answered a question of rear end ratio. The response came back, "I dont remember having high speed issues with stock tranny, but I did use that 3200 stall once I got the car.", plus other posts by bobmic93 that would lead one to believe that the opening post had little to do with the problem. I see you are still unwilling to make any contribution to bobmic93, which means you continue not to be a part of the solution, and by your own words, that makes you the problem.

RACE ON!!!

 

Monster Transmissions doesn't know as much about these transmissions as you would hope. "Pump the gas pedal at a lower speed" so it will shift to OD(?) later(?). He may as well spin around three times while he clicks the heels of his ruby red slippers together and chants, "There's no place like home." The B&M part he refers to is a standard feature of a CORVETTE (only) 700R4. I'd bet big money that the part in the B&M kit is a stock GM part, and not some special, aftermarket doodad.



More bad info here. The servo(s) and the TV valve, have nothing, directly, to do with one another or 4th gear engagement at WOT. The item, apparently, missing in bobmic93's transmission, is the 3-4 shift valve sleeve, that installs in the valve body and is exclusive to Corvettes (and B&M?). My understanding of these transmissions is rudimentary, at best. We need Pete K. to explain it properly.

RACE ON!!!

 

For once I agree with CFI EFI, you should PM Pete K and see if he can shed light on your problem.

 

Speak for yourself, Bubba. You are putting words into my mouth, not uttered by me. If YOU think he is inferior, say so. Don't say that *I* did, when I didn't or tell me and others what *I* feel. You are on the ragged edge...

And do see me doing any name calling? You had better check before you spout off as you did above. Notice, too, that the biggest problems are caused by those that have nothing to contribute to the subject of the thread. I would call that rebel rousing.

RACE ON!!!

 

f-body.org/gears

And enter everything in. 3.73's will cruise at 80mph at like 2800

 

I bought the tranny from Monster out of Florida and had a local tranny shop put it in.

 

Thats correct according to Monster. They said the valve body has to come out and that part inserted and your done.

 

Probably been discussed by now, but easiest thing to try is to put it in 3rd, wind it up to about 120mph which should be around 6000rpms, then let off WOT but keep 1/2 throttle down, and shift to OD. See if it shifts to 4th gear at that throttle. If it does, then you are just missing the WOT corvette servo or whatever, BUT your car should still be accelerating.

With my '92 and 3.45 gears in now, I spin to about 5400-5500 before it shifts from 3rd to OD at about 125mph, and the car still pulls nice and strong at WOT.

 

AMEN cfi IS A DOUCHE

 

I am not going to decend into another pissing contest with you.

For some unknown reason, you can go out here, be all attitude, and when people call you on it, blame them for it.

If you can't see it, then so be it... just check the attitude at the door.

oh, and who ID'd this as a transmission problem in the first place?

 

You'd best "check" saying I said or think, things that never occurred to me. Are you allowing your feels to seep out, and then blame them on me?

It certainly wasn't me. I followed along with the question, as asked, believing it was a rear end ratio situation, like the open post intimated. I denied bringing up the transmission as an issue yesterday (4/27/06) in my post at 6:01 PM (MDT). I know you first asked what trans the car had. I don't care enough to go back 3 pages to check who it actually was. I know, and I never claimed it was me. Wazza matter? Can't you keep up?

RACE ON!!!

 

And yet another useless member of the peanut galley, with no thought on the subject, chimes on. I have to admit, however, if there is anyone that would be familiar with "A DOUCHE", it would be redbullapril23. You might heed the words of your mentor, Casethecorvetteman, who said:Since YOU have not uttered one word on the topic, HE has done you the favor of labeling you.

RACE ON!!!

 

Did he give any reason for pumping you full of the hot air about TV pressure and pumping the pedal? I'd be leery of someone that tries to slide by with a fantasy explanation like that.

RACE ON!!!

 

nice reply bud

 

Guys, just ignore CFI. He's not going to change.

 

There seem to me to be a number of incorrect statements about gearing and top speed in this thread.

I'm not sure about this, maybe I'm doing something wrong...


Assuming the above numbers of 160mph stock with 3.07 are correct...

With the 3.07 gears 160 mph is about 4450 rpm. The stock LT1 has about 290 ft-lb of torque at that rpm which is 623 ft-lb to the ground.

With the 3.73 gears, 160mph occurs at 5400 rpm, where the stock LT1 has about 250 ft-lb of torque, which is 653 ft-lb to the ground.

So with 3.73 gears the top speed should be slightly higher than with 3.07 gears, with the stock engine.

Since he has a modified engine, his top speed should be significantly higher than it was with a stock engine and 3.07 gears.
