Has anyone seen what I have? If I pull out from somewheres and give the rocket a little throttle it surges and after a second pulls me back in the seat. This happens mainly in second gear. The car likes to take off in 2nd if I don't stop completely and this is when it happens. It even does it if I turn the traction control off. Acts like it don't wanna take off. Is this normal? Can anyone relate to my possible problem?

it may just be the tranny deciding what gear to launch at. I got a chip and shift kit and don't have that problem anymore. It's just an auto tranny thing i guess.

Can you be a little more specific about the "throwing you back" part ? It is normal that somtimes when you floor the auto from a go, it wont really throw you back in your seat all that much. Has to do with lack of steep gearing and starting you out on too high of a gear.

Iguess that explains it. It usually happens when I give it gas before starightening out on the road. At first it acts like it's in the wrong gear, but never reshifts that I can tell. You can just feel the car pull afterwards like it has never-ending power. Thanks for the replies

I think whats happening is its pulling from second gear instead of first. Because it pulls from second gear at lower speeds it will take forever to wind out second gear.

Thanks alot for the reassurance. I kinda figured that had to be it. Maybe a shift kit will help that and some gears.

Best mods for the automatic are:

Transmission cooler - without a doubt the most important thing for the auto. Heat is the number 1 killer of automatic transmissions. This mod will add life to your transmission and help keep it running at its best.
Torque converter - no less than 2800 stall
Gears - no less than 4.10s, preferably 4.30's
Shift kit - I recommend the Jerry mod shift kit. For more info, go to www.tccoa.com and read their articles on the 4r70w automatic transmission. Plenty of info. there.
