I hope that is all it is. It's a PTS trans and Mark was supposed to get Bruce to call me about it. I set the tv with factory procedure then backed off 2 clicks. After it warms up it stops doing it.
Maybe Cali fell into ocean?

P.S.: Thought you were gonna send me one of your recalibration for my other 2004R? I sent you an email right after you offered it to me,do I need to call?

 

[chris718]

Sorry Doug, no ill intent

But, Mark Y has been in the hospital for the last 2weeeks. Congenital heart failure and an infected and collasped lung. We were scared for a bit there, but he should recover. Real slow tho.
I have been running like crazy trying to cover him and do my other 3 jobs. I have not even been around the board.
You are not being ignored, I didn't even know this post was here till this morning. I am sorry and will get back to you, or give me a shout when you can.

I am selling out of all my Buick stuff.
I will be putting ads up in the for sale section here shortly.
ALL MUST GO!
Life has changed again, time to roll with the times.

Thanks
Bruce

I have got to a psi check at idle. Needs to be below 130psi@idle or it will second gear start-after it warms up the fluid is thinner and it stops. Bruce told me this on the phone monday. Gonna try to get to it tomorrow,but I am remodeling our house and landscaping too.

2nd gear starts?

Did this get fixed? Would love to know so I can see why mine is still doing it?

[ITSAV6]

yes

Now with tv adjusted where it don't give 2nd gear starts my full throttle shifts are a little low(4200). Now I gotta pull my engine back out for rebuild (wiped cam lobe after 4000 miles and filings got in bearings-now i am adding forged pistons and billet caps and balancing). I probably have 3-400 miles on tranny now since nov!
