Hitting The Rev Limiter !!!!

[boostmaster]

Hi gurus, I have an 85 T type that I bought 2 years ago, when I purchased the car the trans had been swapped with a CT trans that I later found was out of a Caprice HO. The initial problem was very early shifting @ WOT at about 4500 rpm. So I installed a Trans Go shift kit and a govenor from a CZ trans. Now the 1-2 shift is great 2-3 is kinda sloppy and the 3-4 is great. The problem I have now is in order to clean up my sloppy 2-3 @ WOT I have to adjust the TV cable pretty tight and I found out by mistake that running @WOT the engine would cut out and buck until I let off the gas. I was hitting the rev limiter in my chip because the engine would rev up to 6K before it would shift @WOT. How do I tighten up the 2-3 so I dont have to adjust the TV so tight. Would a super Servo do the trick. I know that this trans is no comparison to the Bq, Cz, or Br, but I just need it to last until I can get a new trans.

you need the right valve body or if that isnt feasable swap in a heavier governor and raise tv limit sping pressure till you arrive where you want to be.get ready to pull the valve body up and down at least 4 times to get it right though.

what about my sloppy 2-3 shifts though will the super servo help out? Also maybe you misunderstood my comment the tranny shifts fine otherwise the only reason it shifts late @ WOT is because I had to tighten up the TV cable to cure my sloppy 2-3 @ full throttle, otherwise it will shift @ 5500 WOT but 2-3 will slide.
