Car shifts great until I floor it and the rpm's climb then it stay there until I let off the gas 1/2 inch and then it shifts. If I nail it again then same happens. What is casusing this? I just spent $1500 on it, I'm calling the tranny shop tomorrow.
Any ideas?

Looks like they pulled a fast one and put in a non-corvette trans.
I would make sure they put in a 87 or later model too...or you will have problems with the trans ( the 87 and later have increased torque gears/clutch baskets and shafts to correct poor reliability of earlier 700R4 tranny's ).
I would go back to the shop and demand they rebuild YOUR corvette trans and put it in the car...not some generic 700R4 that may only last a year before crapping out.

Well, it's my tranny, a friend did me a favor and took it to his shop where his man did it. I talked to him tonight and he told me the kickdown cable needs to be adjusted. So I'm putting her on the rack tomorrow.........
