Oh no...tranny woes

"Sounds" normal to me and mine has 106k miles.

Yup, I agree that's normal behavior. Feels like those two-step modulated OD shifts. My late-model Troopers did the same thing, although the '04 Axiom and its Aisin didn't.

You mean a tranny swap isn't called for??? Doggonit, I need another one, just so I have one to work on

I've got a couple of Fiat 5-speeds with bad synchros you can tinker with.

Leave your tranny alone, Chopper... I'm pretty sure that's just the lock-up torque converter locking up after shifts. It will actually do that when shifting into 2, 3, and 4, although you have to be fairly light on the gas to notice it in the lower gears. Mine varies in its behavior depending on load and outside temps, but it's normal operation. Someone last year posted a tongue-in-cheek thread claiming to really have 7 gears.

If you want to tinker with something, come on up to CT for a few days and we can rebuild the engine on the GT. :-)

Reset your computer.. due to your new exhaust, the transmission/computer and all that are learning the new power pattern and shift patterns... so if you reset the computer, it will start from scratch...

Just a quick note- Watch for aftermarket mods voiding your warranty. Even a simple muffler upgrade could give them cause to void it completely if the dealer didn't install it.

Just check the fine print
