problem, i need help!!

[TURBOELKY]

the other day i did a service on my tranny, and that included a new tv cable.
after it was all said and done, i drove the car, and the tranny slipped real bad, but really only on take off through the gears, unless i nail'd it. at wot, the tranny shifted good. so i finally realized the tv cable needed adjustments.
I adjusted it by driving,pulling over and adj., what ever. then the thing shifted way too hard, but really felt tight and the car felt alot faster than normal. I played with it all day, but couldnt get it to shift right, it was either too hard of a shift, or slipped from second to third real bad, even at wot. then at one point, it was taking off in second gear I then realized i had 1&1/2 quarts too much dextron. i pumped it out, but didnt get a chance to drive it yet, is it possible that the extra amount of oil would not let the tranny shift properly while I was adjusting the tv cable? any help would be very appreciated, i cant afford a new tranny right now, also, what kind of damage could too much oil do? p.s., before i changed the filter,fluid and cable, the tranny shifted perfect, soft when babbied, and firm when wot. thanks

Well, some advise 2 quarts of overfill to fix the hard acceleration oil starvation problem on this trans, so 1.5 quarts of over *may* not be the problem. Did you get the o'ring seal in ok in the oil pump where the filter fits in?

Too much fluid will foam as it hits the rotating components inside, cause fluid loss from the vent, and could cause damage as the foamed fluid will cause weird things to happen to the hydraulics.

I know some fine tuning tips for the TV, but they are hard to describe. I hope this new TV cable is the right length & type. At 25-30 mph you MUST get a 3-1 kickdown when it's floored, or you risk frying the trans.

Thanks

THE TV CAME OFF another brf tranny. i'm going to try to adjust the tv again today. no foam or oil came out of the breather tube nor was there any foam on the dip stick, so i'm hoping the overfill and the bad adjustment on the cable was the problem. and yeah i heard the snap of the o ring going into the pump on the filter when i put it in. thanks for the help
