| Lately i've been noticing some harsher up shifts in the first 2 gear changes in normal driving. They only occur when the car shifts itself. But they are not jerky when i let off the gas slighty to shift up and lower the revs. Any ideas? | |

| What year is your car? As 95-96 had a different transmission than the 97-99s. It would be helpful to include the year of your car in your sig. | |

| Check vacuum lines for cracks/leaks.

|  check the lines, and you may want to replace the shift modulator. it's only like $12 from AZ. how is the fluid level too? (be sure to check it when warmed up, on flat surface, and with the car running) also what color is it? _________________ 1996 with 254k miles, L32 4" FWI -> ported N* -> Ported Gen V w/3.0" Pulley, Stage 3 Phenolic I/C, ZZP FMHE, 1.84 RR, Headers and 3" pipe to mufflers, F-body brakes, and lowered on Eibachs. -RIP AMG C400 White on black.

| When was last time fluid was flushed/changed?
It also may be the 'gummy valve body' problem. I have not had to do this but I understand they are not that expenseve and can be R&R w/o putting the car on jack or lift.
Good luck.
