69 charger 440 with 727 torqueflite. Shift points seem to be random. For the most part 1st to 2nd shifts around 2000 rpm at about 20-25 mph and 2nd to 3rd usually around 2500 rpm give or take. Shifts hard but I believe it’s a built transmission so I think a little rougher shift should be normal if I’m not mistaken. My concern is Sometimes it’s like it wants to hold 2nd and doesn’t want to shift to 3rd but once you stop or let off a bit and go again it will shift fine. Also slips from 2nd to 3rd every so often. Keep in mind this is normal driving and not matting it. I have the lokar kick down adjusted in sync with throttle. So when the throttle is wide open the kick down is all the way to the rear of the car as far back as it can go. There was no kick down on it when I bought it but didn’t seem to have this issue then. Possible just needs adjustment? As transmission is a few years old but only around 7000 miles. I’m sure the thoughts you guys have are the same thoughts I’m having. “Rebuild”. Fluid level is full while hot in neutral. Running dexron 111/Mercon atf. Also for the life of me can not get the b&m Pan to quit leaking on the front right corner. Only leaks when hot. New gasket and the pan is cast so it’s not warped and I snubbed pan bolts good and have checked frequently to make sure they are not coming loose but never torqued as don’t want to over tighten. Thanks for your guys input and sorry for the long post.
