Ok let me apologoze for the length here, I just want to make sure that I include all relevant info.
I got this car about 6 months ago, in need of an engine freshening. The trans seemed to not like going into drive or reverse in the morning cold. As soon as it warmed up it was fine. After having the engine done the trans was great, it even shifted into drive and reverse when it was cold with no problems at all.
Now three months later I install a 2800 stall converter (with lockup). The first few days fine no problems. Now all of the sudden here is what it does : Start from a dead stop (under light throttle) , it will shift into second at about 15mph and it seems to lock right away, then it shifts into third at about 20 almost stalling the engine. It will shift into fourth gear normally at about 45mph. Then if you bring it down to a stop it just about stalls the motor out (seems that the converter is staying locked). Just before it stalls out you can feel the converter unlock. If you leave under heavy throttle the shift points seem to be normal, but it still locks almost instantly upon hitting second gear. I do have a lockup switch installed which I know is wired correctly. I can make it lockup via the switch.
I have made the tv cable adjustment several times to insure that it is correct.
Can anyone help me out ?!?!
Thanks,
chris
