I seem to be having some shifting issues and I was wondering if anyone can give me some suggestions on what to check/adjust. The car is a 95 with a fairly new trans, >10000 miles. I recently did the blue wire mod and have link activating a relay above 6000rpm and above 90% throttle. With the shifter in L, the car will shift into 2nd quite early at WOT, about 5500 rpm, then from 2nd, it will shift into 3rd at about 5500 rpm. It shift rpm seems to be jumping around and its never really that consistent. The car also seems to be shifting into neutral sometimes as well. For example, last night I launched the car with the shifting in the L position and the trans shifted into 2nd at about 5500 rpm so I then proceeded to put the shifter into the 2nd position and the trans shifted into, which seemed like neutral. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
 
just checking but when it acted like it shifted into neutral.. how long was it in neutral and did it shift into gear after that on its own? just checking to see if it wasnt a flare .. as in the trans has internal leaking of some kind.. sounds like valvebody issues.. also does it change when its cold or hot
