will unplugging it keep it in whatever gear you choose to put it in
Yeah by doing that it stay in second gear i need first also we dont get high enough rpms for the take off
i need 3rd i run a big 1/2 mile dirt track i have a 2000 sunfire gt
keep the shifter in 2nd gear position when racing, and take the cable that goes from the trans to the throttle body off the throttle body, pull cable out as far as it will go, this will make the trans think the motor is at high rpm (downshift for passing gear or whatever) the car won't be able to shift to 3rd since you have it down in 2nd, and the cable pulled will keep the trans in the lowest possible gear for the rpm, so you'll have 1st at highest possible rpm, then it will shift to 2nd when it needs to.

Lies Lies Lies, He has a 4 speed, you have a 3 speed, He does not have a TV cable like you do. Trans is electronically controlled...
Have you thought about HP Tuners?

Lies. I have a 5 speed. Not sure where you came up with that. Didnt know the 4 speed was that different. I prefer the old school.

Touche' Assumed you had one since you spoke of the Tv cable...
Either way the E in 4t40E is for electronic control, no TV cable, no governor, no modulator.

Out of curiosity, what would happen if you unhooked the VSS. I know it shifts based off of MPH vs TPS or something. So, I wondered what would happen if you took away the MPH input.
i find it amusing that SHOoff has nothing better to do but follow me around & be an unhelpful dick in even cross-forum. - Jon Mick
My trans wouldn't @!#$ out of first gear without a VSS.
- Your not-so-local, untrained, uncertified, backyard mechanic. But my @!#$ runs
Even after hitting redline?
