[Shotimes] Speaking of Trannys

[Rick5638@aol.com]

I've got a 95 ATX SHO, approx 116k on the car and not the original owner so I 
don't know if the trans has been replaced or rebuilt before. I experience a 
firm, really firm shift situation from 1st to 2nd gear shifts if I accelerate 
hard off the line then back off before the car shifts to 2nd. Is this a common 
problem or could I have the problem?
The reason it hasn't really concerned me is because during normal driving, it 
shifts fine and smooth through all the gears. Push button overdrive works 
fine, tranny fluid is clean and it downshifts properly when I nail it. Its just 
the hard to moderately hard acceleration from a stop then getting off it a bit 
before it shifts to 2nd, is when I feel an abnormally hard or firm shift. 
Anyone able to shed some light on this? I've put 4k miles on it doing this with no 
changes it shift behavior at all.

Thanks Rick
