performance trans didnt act so performance today.

I was on some ice and accidentaly spun on of the wheels the trans ****** and i let off. No problems. I was then at a stop and had to pass this guy in order to make the off ramp so i buzzed it through the gears and she shifted flawless, no slipps nothin. Well as I got back on, I punched it at 60mph on an incline and the thing roared into gear and when it engaged it seemed to make a slight slip or rev and then no prob. Well I was like oh no you didnt, and tried a 60mph drop again and she didnt slip at all, I checked my fluid and it was clear(pink no residue). I guess it smelled a little burnt or maybe it just was the smell of the **** cause it smelled the same as when the trans was new. I had this so called refined trans installed at 66,000 and now I have 73,412 on it. What is the deal, is she goin? Is my trans a lemon, if it is what can i do if it is going to go? I'm so mad right now and starting to wonder if 2nd gen SHO's have any quality what so ever. My dad's gen 3 is a dream and Im thinkin about selling mine and getting a V8. The thing that sucks is that even if I bring the car in and demand a new trans the service manager will use the "You hard drove it" bull**** and will make me pay for it. I am up in arm. Please tell me my trans isnt goin.

Your tranny might have been inbetween gears(shifting) when you punched it which would cause what you described.

It doesnt sound like you have anything to worry about... It WAS probably just in between gears

update: So far the trans has been fine and shifts fast and firm and I did a full throttle from 60mph and she took off like all **** without slips so shes fine. Thinks for the comforting posts.

You call this a performance trans??...where did you get it, cauz when I talked to you at dominicks you said that it was the original trans, and the only thing you did to it, is bring it in for a recall, and that recall was for just the pan( I belive), also you installed this so called performance trans
