Just because it won't shift at WOT does not mean that after you let off a touch, it shifts, that you can't go back to WOT. Same with my 87 GN.
A 92 1LE/B4C will still be pulling at 140 quite nicely (certified speedo backed by GPS) and cop testing back in the day showed the auto (3.23) and the 5sp (3.42) were both good to an honest 150. Costas cars and such... |

Never could on my car. I even added the B&M "upshift valve" and if I got to happy with the loud pedal, it would back into 3rd and run off of the tach. I eventually destroyed that gearbox (after 10 rebuilds) and got a new core, it turned out to be a 350 box and it would make the 3/4 shift while wide open. Then, I converted the car to a manual. My teal car is a factory 5.7 liter car, but it's now a 6 speed. Yea, the cars that wouldn't shift were limited by third gear, the 5.7's would shift and they ran 150+ mph on top. |
