First gear hang
I purchased my 2013 GT Premium on Monday. I put AM wheels on and a Roush axle back. I just took it out for a spin. The car was at operating temperature so I gave it some gas. The transmission dropped down to first gear and ran up to 7k rpm. It held at redline and started to backfire. I immediately let off and it still hung in first at redline. I pumped the gas pedal and it shifted and ran like normal. It did it again the very next light and has not happened since. I took it to where I bought it from but they do not have time to bring it in for at least 2 weeks. Keep in mind that the car has 100 total miles.

Deysha,
I appreciate the offer for help. I think I will just leave the car parked in my garage until the weather turns nicer. Last time I took my car in for service the left it outside for an extended period.
