Is the gtp tranny sapossed to do this

**4st air** · 02-21-2011

I have a 97 gtp I think it shifts too smooth!sounds crazy right well from my understanding when a tray shifts firm it's a good one. Or am I just nuts, do these trannys have a bad rep or something? I don't know anything about this car. Van some enlighten me? Thx god bless

the shift smooth from the factory how they are supposed to. it's a grandma grocery getter.

however, when you tune it so that it shifts more solid then you start breaking things. there is a middle ground that you need to hit or it'll never be reliable.

That's how most of them are. Mine was very smooth till I installed a shift kit and had it tuned.
