The tranny was rebuilt by Level 10 about 2 years ago. I've never messed with the tv cable settings, but was told the car had the wrong cable on it, but was adjusted pretty close. I would have to put the shifter in second while at the dragstrip to be able to keep it from short shifting. The tranny would shift fine, about 5000rpm out of first, but shift out of second at about 4500. Well no big deal I thought. One day it slipped going in to 3rd gear twice, but then was fine. I pulled the pan and found crud. A local guru told me it appeared to be torque converter, so I pulled the tranny and tc. He had it cut open and sure enough, 8 fins tore loose. Got a new converter built and cleaned the pan, put it all together with a brand new, correct tv cable, but had to adjust it to 14 clicks to get it to shift right. Then the shifting points were even worse, 1st to maybe 4500, and worse from there, so bad it dropped to like 3000 when it hit 3rd, bog-city. So pulled the vb out and gave it to him to look at, got the Level 10 shift-kit instructions and he compared the vb to the instructions, pulled it all apart and cleaned everything out and everything looked good. Put it all back in and it's the same as far as the clicks and shifting go. I can't check the actual shifting points right now because the car just blows the tires off on the street so it doesn't want to shift into 2nd unless I let off, but I'm gonna try to find some time to find a road or maybe do it from a roll to see how the shift points are, but I'd guess they are still messed up. I know it's got a Super servo in it, a stage 3 Level 10 rebuilt, possibly a 10 vane pump (any parts that were top of the line about 2 years ago), a Level 10 shift kit and a 3000rpm stall tc. Any ideas on what the deal is? Just going with the problem of the tv cable not ending up in the 4 click region...what would cause that? I'm guessing/thinking it has to do with the tv circuit just due to the idea that the cable ratchets out only when the cable gets tight (right?) so if the spring in the tv circuit is too easy, it will then let the arm push the valve all the way in until it's gone all the way. With a comparison being that in a "correct" setup, the spring would be stronger, so it wouldn't let the arm/valve go as far back, thus causing the cable to ratchet out.....does that make any sense??? Any ideas guys? Thanks for any input,
Scott
