Supercharger doesn't pass 0, tranny problem
I have a 93 sse with the 3800, I have noticed lately that my supercharger needle never passes 0 on the gauge. It rises and drops, but never past 0. Also, my transmission shifts real hard between gears, this only hapens while accelerating. The harder I am on the gas the easier it shifts. Is there a possibility that one of my mounts is bad, I open the hood and shift between gears and the engine really jumps around. Any help would be appreciated.

Dead supercharger
There is a serpentine belt, I was thinking there was too much play and it was not getting the supercharger pulley to engauge. I'm pretty sure it'* just not working, it will jump from -10 to 0 and just stop there. I'm new and not quite sure what the "codes" are, if they are something that appear on the HUD, then there are no codes. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Use the procedure in Techinfo to pull PCM codes. Get back to us with what you find.
I can almost gaurantee you the SC is working just fine. Or CAPABLE of working just fine. I haven't seen a SC cause a problem other than a little rattle at idle. EVER.

Did my hoomework
OK, I shorted the A and B and got my diagnostic, when the ignition was turned to on with a&b shorted, the Service engine soon light blinked----five seconds----blink twice
It never flased any codes, but the engine light in the little above view stayed on the whole time, never going off. Any help, thanks

One blink, pause, two blinks is code 12, the diagnostic code. It basically means "anything that follows this is a stored error code." Ideally if you had any stored codes, the MIL light would flash 12, pause, flash an error code, pause, flash another error code, pause, ... until finally it finishes flashing all the stored codes, then will flash code 12 again to indicate it'* done.
So either you didn't wait long enough after the code 12 flash, or there weren't any stored codes.
At least, I'm pretty sure that'* how it works.
