    hey, so my 02 gtp is not ever shifting into 4th gear. im just wondering if anyone else has this problem or a fix for it? could it be low on tranny fluid?

    thanks for any help!

    My first response would be a stripped out 4th hub. You can repair it, but it's a pretty big job. Have you pulled codes on it at all? Dropped the pan to check for metal flakes\chunks or anything?

    Ok so i ordered headers today and I'm going to order parts to change the hub out and put a shift kit in while I'm in there tomorrow... can anyone point me in the direction of a parts list of everything i will need as i have no clue. Possibly a write up if there's any? Or any info at all would be awesome!
