Subject: Re: Trans problems.....signs of a bad torque converter? by Matatk on 2012/3/25 2:11:21 Lou - I agree it's shifting too soon. If I shift manually, I don't shift out of first until about 16-18 mph and out of second around 25-30 mph. Usually around 2200 rpms when I shift manually. 3.07 rear. I have tried numerous governor combinations with springs and weights and this is the best combo I could come up with. Actually happy with the WOT but nothing I changed would alter the light throttle shifts at around 8-9 mph from first to second. Last year the problem I was having was my WOT shifts were hanging up at higher rpms. That was killing my 1/4 mile times. Changing the weights/springs seems to have corrected that. Like I said before, I think Dan has the best explanation for me. It's like putting a manual trans in third gear at 16 mph and chugging along under load. Just not the right gear. The 700r4 just doesn't have the right gear combos for what I want. Matthew |
