1996 K1500 Z71 SEEMS SOFT SHIFTING ANY IDEAS
1996 K1500 Z71 SEEMS TO HAVE SOFT OR SLOW SHIFTING UNLESS ON GAS MORE THAN NORMAL. WILL SHIFT GREAT IF USING A FAST TAKE OFF. UNDER NORMAL SLOW ACCLERATION SEEMS SOFT ALMOST LIKE A SLIP BUT GIVE IT MORE GAS IT TAKES OFF!!! WAS TOLD SHIFT SOLENOIDS WERE STICKING?? JUST DONT WANT TO DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD. I HAVE ALREADY FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION NO SCREEN REPLACEMENT OR GASKET REPLACEMENT WASNT LEAKING DIDNT WANT TO START ONE. HAS ANYONE HAD THIS BEFORE OR IS IT NORMAL???? DONT WANT TO TOW WITH IT IT JUST SEEMS TO NOT RIGHT??************** TRUCK DATE CODE IS LATE 1995 *********

If it were mine i would replace the filter and reflush it. If filter has never been changed that may be your problem. That would be the cheapest fix to it before you get into the valvebody. Also you may want to adj your detent cable. Just a thought :P
