weird OD issue

[johnmarines]

Ok guys , here is the deal. when ever I get on the freeway the car shifts great. When I hit the 70 mph and just cruise my rpms sit around 3200-3300 but after about 3 minutes it drops to 3000 rpms. No matter if the trans is warmed up or cold it does the same thing everytime I hit the freeway. Is this normal? This was happening on my last 2g, I swapped valve bodys from one to the current one and the problem transfered over . I had a local trans shop replace my selinods (brittle wires)when I had my last transmissin rebuilt . Problem started when the rebuilt trans was installed.Could this be a seliniod issue or valve body issue? I do have a extra vb with stock oem seliniods but my current VB has a shift kit installed and I do want to keep it. Any ideas?

sounds to me like normal. Lockup clutch grabbing on the highway to save you gas.

Do you keep the car in OD all the time, Or do you grab OD with the click of the button..

I agree, absolutely normal. This will not ever happen in a 1g because they have a non-lockup converter due to space restrictions but 2gs have this for better gas mileage. It is also the reason that the 2g has an extra solenoid.
