transmission slips going into 3rd

When im accelerating in my car and it's in 2nd gear @ 1950-2050 RPM right before it engages into 3rd it seems to slip out of gear until about 2900-3100 RPM and then slams into 3rd.

So the transmission doesn't slam into 3rd, I can anticipate the shift from 2nd into 3rd and let off the fuel and it will shift just fine (I can achieve the same outcome when I use the paddle shift, afterthought)

What could this be? Could a bad transmission module cause this?


I also notice a major drag when I left off the gas panel and coast, it seems to slow down a lot quicker than I remember. What could this mean?

I got the transmission flushed by an Indy shop about 35k ago.

k2 clutches are worn out and/or one of the freewheeling units has let go. i wouldn't recommend driving it in this condition as you can send metal shavings through the system eventually.

I would either buy or borrow the trans fluid check stick and make sure the fluid level is exact. Could be worn parts but these 722.6 trans`s flat out hate being low or over filled with fluid.

Does it seem to shutter into 3rd and drives perfect at full load.
