The engine rpm will keep rising before the shift and then hang up at a point for like a second and then finally slip into gear.

ye if u shut the radio off and u accelarate u will hear the engine accelarating but then right before it will shift u hear the sound go to a higher pitched sound for like 2 seconds and then it shifts... thats the slip... i finally heard it yesterday on my car right before the meet... i was pissed... but whatever... guess i just gotta take it in with the TSB... hopefully they will do a full swap for me...

well u get the sound when u WOT it... it basically sounds like you are still acelarating when u are not... the sound goes from the steady accelaration sound u had to a higher pitched sound... like as if the clutch disengages... i dunno its hard to explain...
