Shifting problem
Hello Team, I just want to see if anybody can help me out. It feels like my sc4 is shifting to fast and then it feels like its staying in the upper gears so when i hit the gas if feels like its a 6 cycl. If I hit the gas more it will then kick in with the 8cycl power. Is this a linkage problem. Adam

Have you tried switching the ECT (electronically controlled transmission) button on your console to power? It will raise the shift points so that it holds each gear further into the rpm band, and it will make kickdowns more available. The transmission mated to the SC4 and LS4 is a bit of lazy-butt in my opinion.

When you say it's as if it was trying to catch up with the motor, do you mean that the motor is revving but you're not accelerating in anyway, and then all of the sudden the transmission kicks in? Because the way you described it makes it sound like your transmission is slipping. I think you should take it to any transmission shop and have them drive it. There are several shops that will do that for free. Good luck man.

Thanks
Thanks for all the replys. Well, come to find out all of the clunking is coming from the lower control arms The bushings on both sides are gone. Now on the hunt for some new bushings.
