Well, for one thing, it's a good thing you are hitting the rev limiter with 3.73 gears, that means you are making decent power. You need a chip to reprogram the shift points the gears have thrown them off considerably. That's why you are hitting the limiter. We do chips all the time for 94-95's wwith auto trannies and gears.

Jesse, When my 3:73's were installed it threw my shift points off pretty good and since Don installed the chip I love the way it shifts....... just my 2 cents...

Since I have had my rebuilt transmission in with torque converter and shift kit, i have been hitting the rev limiter to. But this doesnt happen when going through gears such as 1,2,3. It happens when the trans downshifts itself, 3 to 2. Would i also need a chip for this? i am also planning to put in 3:73s at the end of the summer.
