What rpm are you showing at what speed?
Is it worse when warm?

If I could remember correctly I was driving 60 n the rpm was going above the 3 but it wouldn't go faster so I slowed down. I went to a mechanic n he said it's the transmision but I was hoping it would be something little since I am low on cash

If you are tight for $$$ you can get a working trans (T700 or 4L60; not 4L60E ,the electronic version ) from a regular car and swap the Corvette tailshaft housing over

The guy who rebuilt my engine said he'll charge me 650 to fix the transmission n gauranteed no set backs so I can afford that but thanks for the advice
