I'd say you have a problem, but good luck getting a dealer to cover it if they can't duplicate the problem under "normal" driving conditions. Speed shifting and redline skip shifts, might not be considered "normal". I hope they cover it for you.

I would stop doing this and your tranny may go another 50k before a rebuild. If your tranny works fine under normal conditions then I would leave well enough alone. Sometimes the "fix" is worse than the "problem".

Mine is doing that to. It's the locker and syncros. You may well need a trans rebuild.

the guy that i owned it last said that he just spent 3k rebuilding the tranny because it wouldnt go into 2nd. i drive my car like it should be driven guess i will have to just shift slow going into 4th. if something brakes then i guess i will upgrade. so if my tranny goes then my warranty will cover it right? oh also i dont powershift i am off the gas when going into 4th. should i get the reciepts from the last owner for the tranny?
