tr2004r shifts

[Roadrage david]

Guys tranny hase 4000miles on it now . about 1500 miles ago i lost kick douwn!.
when i cruise in touwn i drive in 3e gear D, because when i just put it in OD it shifts to 4e to quik locks up and stays lockt until i stop. so i mainly use OD on the highway.
having said that when i need to drive slower on the highway due to trafic it stays lockt up and bogs at 1500 rpm iven if i put my foot on the brake!! unless i douwn shift to 3e gear .

I do drive it manualy alot. 1/2 shifts are ""very"" Firm and super quik feels like a manual transmission!! very pleased with that . 3e is bit looser but stil hauling , but would not mind it to be as firm as 1/2 shifts, 4e is imidiate lock up . had the ting up to 192mph it never skips a beat ore sounds wrong nor runs hot(3 oil coolers and deep pan)...... how can i get the Kick douwn working again and have the convertor unlock when im driving in OD in sity trafic...

I thought you were really liking the BTO 200-4R.

I would check the TV cable adjustment for the no kickdown. IF not that, pull the valve body and fix the stuck TV valve before you burn it up.

You have a 4th gear lockup configuration. Install a vacuum switch, delay valve, brake/cruise switch and maybe also a manual toggle and a speed control, and you'll have lockup that SORTA works like it should.

You know an electronically controlled 4L80E isn't this much trouble to set up for a retrofit and there isn't a TV valve to get stuck, or TV cable to get out of adjustment.

How much is it to get a 4L80E with electronic controler

About $2500 plus a converter and mechanical speedo if you need it.
