Clean the MAF sensor and see if that helps. How far off is the speedo? You cannot change the shift points directly but they can be changed with a added chip or a Baumann TCS. See this link.

Should I need to get that thing for the shifting? Or is there somthing else I could try.... and will cleaning the maf sensor help with the starting?

Ow ya and to ho along with the bad starting it also seems to have lost power... like I can barely do a burn out....

And the speedo is off about 15

If the MAF is dirty the car runs like s**t. Use MAF or Non-chlorinated carb cleaners. Just spray well. The element is fragile.

The speedo off is high 15 mph? There is no speedo driven gear that will properly correct for the 4:10 gears. You can try using a 23 tooth white gear to get it closer. That might also help on the shift points.

K thanks! I'll try cleaning it once but you think that's why it starts like ****? And just pull the boot off on the intake and spray it with carb cleaner?

 

[toyman]

You can do that but I prefer removing the MAF and then spraying it. NOTE - I said Non-chlorinated carb cleaner. You don't want any cleaner that will leave a residue. Just buy a can of MAF cleaner to be sure.

K thanks! I'll try that hopefully that will fix the starting problem too!

Has the car always shifted poorly since the 4.10s?
Or did the shifting issues start well after the 4.10 gears?

I am curious because speed sensors do go bad occaisionally, and that is what the ECM uses to set shift points. I am also wondering in my head if having the speedo gear so far off would affect what speed the sensor is reporting to the ECM... ??? If so, then getting the speedo gear correct, or closer, is what the ECM wants in order to shift properly.
