Default Shifting problem..

ok so i was driving n i missed my turn.. so i made a U-turn at the light and floored it.

First gear: hauls **** till redline
Second gear: shifts n then still bounces off redline till i reach 60mph.

is my tranny dying?? or does it have major slippage?

...Hmmm, not sure but since you are SC'd I would only use E-shift when driving aggressively so you can control when the car shifts. If you just leave it in auto and floor it I feel that it puts more strain on the tranny where it "looks" to shift and sometimes hesitates too much causing it to hit the rev limiter instead of right before with this much power.
