engine whines to 5000rpm before shifting?
 

sometimes my engine rev's to like 5000rpm before it shifts,i think for the 1-2 shift or 2-3 shift. anybody know what could be causing this?

Does it rev in between gears with or does it just rev that high in first and then shifts into second?

i think both

Well the shift points are at about 5000 for full throttle, even higher in power mode, but if it is hanging up between gears.

1. Check your fluid
2. Check and adjust your TPS ( Tranny uses input from tps to determine load)
3. Check/Adjust your kickdown cable
4. You could possibly have bad shift solenoid, the tsrm has a troubleshooting section for determing which/if a solenoid is bad. ( there are 2 )

Also try shiting through the gears yourself and see if it still hangs up between shifts

5. If all checks out, consider having your fluid/filter changed

Had the same problem on a 87 N/A auto and that was what fixed it for me
