Well i got some great tips from the archives and from my last post.
RECAP: 1986 2.8l 2bbl Roch carb. Former manual now auto (th-400 changed by P/O) Delayed Shifting
Well i dropped the tranny and the fluid looked and smelled perfect. No trash in the pan but i did replace the filter and fluid just in case. I correctly adjusted the aftermarket B&M shifter. All of this seemed to help. Now the 1-2 shift seems near perfect but the 2-3 shift seems delayed. I thouht perhaps it was the TPS. But I doubt that because this tranny doesn't have any connections that I can find going in to it, other than the shifter cable.
I was told by an old hand at the local parts-hut that those th-400 had no external modulator. Darn, there goes that theory.
So how exactly would this tranny tell what the engine is doing? There is about 2 cm of slack in the kickdown cable. I would shorten it but I can't find any adjustment. Heck i'm not sure where the cable came from. It is unlike the ones shown in the haynes manual. And my parts-hut doesn't have one I could replace the current one with for a th-400.
HELP!
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
