New Transmission....High Shift Points

[merigolds]

Just bought a 2000 with 187k miles on it, new transmission installed the day I picked it up (from local Chevy dealer, with al paperwork, etc). No issues whatsoever for first 2 weeks but 2 of last 5 days it has randomly, and only for a short time had issues shifting....instead of shifting at ~2000rpm it is getting up around ~3000 before shifting.

Any ideas what may be wrong?

Thanks, I wondered if there was any breaking in period that needed to occur. Never had a new transmission before!

yup, all kinds of lil gadgets are smoothing out bores and getting their groove on right now. just go easy on it for a few.
You might want to change fluid in a month or so...

Yes.

It has happened a total of 3 times.

Each time i have only been driving 10 minutes tops and when I get back in it is fine.

keep driving it, like mentioned it still may be the new wearing in, but if it continues, take it back to dealer. New tranny should have a good warranty.
