Big block 727 auto trans behind a 440. Have had this for a few years - just wondering your guys’ thoughts.
Routine - Start in Neutral - let it warm up, put into gear and it pops into gear right away. Mostly reverse to back off of lift. Once I get into street, I shift to N let it idle for a minute - then normally just start in 2nd.
Regardless if I start in 1st or 2nd - after motor is initially started it takes a while for it to shift. I go slow and can feel and hear when it will eventually shift. Can go pretty high rpm’s if I let it before it does shift. Once it does - it runs and shifts flawlessly the rest of the trip
This happens even when I arrive somewhere and it is warm - shut it off, turn it right back on and very delayed first shift - rpm’s can go pretty high like lacking pressure. Then - shifts perfect the rest of the time I drive it.
I’ve learned how to baby it anytime I start the motor (whether cold or warm) until that first shift happens.
Thoughts? Thanks guys!
