Re: TV Cable Strikes Again...
I'm having a hard time figuring out what your talking about.
Are you saying:
At part throttle it shifts like crap. Really soft.
Then at WOT it will not make a 1-2 shift?
The 1st gear thing is throwing me. As soon as you put it in Drive, the forward,sprag, and low roller clutch hold and it moves. It doesn't move and then shift into 1st. That's just not the way it works.
In order for it to shift, governor pressure MUST overcome TV pressure. If TV isn't right, then everything else gets thrown off.
If your TV cable did the click click POP! deal then the adjuster is shot and the adjustment isn't right. A stock TV cable should just go "click click click" all the way to correct adjustment. I've seen some of these rusted up solid.
Get another cable.
Pull the valvebody and the governor. Clean them out with carburetor cleaner. Make sure all the valves MOVE freely. If you pull the pan and there are CHUNKS of metal and pieces of spring, tear it down. If there is just metallic sludge on the magnet, clean it off and do the valvebody and governor. Look at the thimble screen for the governor. If it's clogged up, clean it out with carb cleaner or replace it if you have one on hand. I would pull the pump lineups too and make sure nothing got clogged up there. The sludge on the magnet is metal from the planetaries and the torque converter. This is normal to have the powder. If you have 200 miles and it's covered in powder, then something else is wrong.
