Like the title says when I place the car in drive it shifts fine other than a quick 1-2 shift no matter where I set the kickdown. If I put the car in manual low/1st and take off the trans will lock up along with the entire drivetrain...not a good thing!
I have noticed that if the kickdown is left very loose the point at which it happens is later.
This trans was rebuilt and put into the car and then sat with very little use until I bought it and got it going again. It was built with heavy duty internals and a 9.5" PTC convertor. Engine is 12.25cr 440 with 3.91 gears in a 8 3/4.
I assume there is a issue with the valve body causing the trans to go into 1st and reverse at the same time? I don't know if it's a valve sticking or somekind of pressure leak causing it. I had the pan off and it was very clean inside, I pulled it because the tab on the tailshaft borke off at somepoint and the low/reverse band shaft fell out. I replaced all this and re- adjusted the band.
Any trans guru's have a thought on this?
Thanks
