My Typhoon is has been having problems shifting for the last two days. It won't shift gears till like 3500 rpms. And when is finially shifts, it practically brakes my neck with the torque. I tried adjusting the TV cable with no different response. I also checked the Trans oil and it seem to be the right color and ammount. I tried to do a search but I can't seem to find one with the exact same problems. Since it was all the sudden, I am wondering if it is something electrical. Any info would definately help cause I am in the dark on this one.

So it keeps getting stranger and stranger. Me and a friend from the local GN club were messing arround with my truck trying to see what was causing the problems. After we gave up, we hung out for about an hour and then I went home. On the way home, my shifting went back to normal, no more problems. So what would cause that? Is something sticking and unsticking? I am going to get my tranny fluid and filter changed today, hopefully this will solve my problems because I am supposed to take it to the track again tomorrow.

kwick6 had some gunk in his new trans. He had to yank on the TV cable a bit to let it flush out. Perhaps you had something similar, with some crud clogging something up which eventually worked its way out?
Glad to hear it's back to normal, but if it was crud in the trans, that itself is bad too.

That's exactly the same problem I had a few weeks ago. It went away when i disconnected the TV cable and yanked it back an forth sometimes, and gave it som lubrication.
Now it shift at normal rpms, but i have the "slipping" problem. Going for an overhaul next week when I get my $$. It will cost me about 2200 dollars (15000 Norwegian Kroners)
Just out of curiosity, how much will a rebuild cost in US ?
