Is my thinking correct on this?

I added a hole to the lever on the transmission so that at idle it would be just approaching the point that throttle pressure starts and have full travel at wide open throttle. There is very little free play. Is that the right thing to do?

The weather finally cooperated yesterday. The transmission still does not shift right. I installed a stock valvebody, thinking I may have messed something up when installing my shift kit. 1-2 shifts decent but 2-3 still hangs for a bit when the throttle is to the floor. It shifts to 3rd if I...

My service manual does not show this very clearly- how should the throttle valve be adjusted?

Do i have the restrictor in the correct place?

I put it back together and now it seems better.. I put a piece of paper towel in that port and it doesn't blow out.

The bore looks ok. The sealing rings are intact. The bigger ones are metal. The small one is plasticy

It sure does blow fluid out of that one!

The rings are still square in profile. There is some air coming from where the reaction shaft support rides in the hub of the drum. Indicated by red dots in picture. I left the springs out for the air test. The piston goes up and down when air is applied. There isn't air coming from the...

The clearance was on the high side of the tolerance listed in the service manual- actually a few thousandths over. I found a snap ring that brings it to .085" right in the middle of the range. Were there 2 different inner lip seals? I have a couple of seals that will fit the hub but one has a...

The outer seal is intact. The inner might have been installed backwards. Had 2 burned steels , luckily I have parts. Going to do more inspecting in the morning. I will call transgo tomorrow and see what they say. I am sure there was an error on my part.

Thanks!

I dropped the valvebody and did an air test on the front and rear clutch apply ports. The rear makes a solid thud noise when air is applied and when it is released. The front makes a different sound when air is applied and no noticeable sound when released. I have a feeling that I will be...

That is what i was hoping to hear! Might have 500 miles on it

I removed the pan this morning to do an air check. There is a little metallic stuff in there.

I did my first rebuild this past winter, and got a lot of good advice here,so I am hoping for some more.. The shifts were never as firm as I'd hoped but everything seemed to be working well until the last drive. When accelerating at wide open throttle the shift from 2 to 3 was really soft and...

A decent spreader pliers for the tailshaft snap ring is handy. I used a couple of c clamps for compressing stuff. I did my first one last winter. This site is a great resource.

Does anyone have a picture of the fuel line routing over the axle? 67 coronet rt I pulled the old one out, but can't seem to get the new one in. I really need to take pictures before taking stuff apart...

I finally got it working! The linkage was a mix of parts that i put together 20 years ago, and i found that for some reason it didn't work together this time. I kept trying different levers and rods without much success, until I switched the throttle bracket. Now it downshifts and does...

No rain today, so I got it back out for a drive. The Kickdown lever is set where it just touches the plunger in the valvebody at idle, and travels to the end of the range at wide open throttle. Still no forced Kickdown and the shifts are not very firm. Doesn't even squeak the tires from 1-2...
