shifts to soon?

[kcs387]

I have an 87 it shifts from 1st to 2nd in 15ft and to 3rd in 50 ft what can it be?

Have you checked the adjustment on your T.V. cable?

do you mean it seems to just shift at a certain speed regardless of throttle position? It sounds strange to measure shifting in feet to me. Are you talking about WOT? If it shifts in 15 ft only going 5 mph that would be strange!

also do a search on TCC solenoid, it may be that...

The tv cable is correct i have checked it 3 times. When i pull out from a complete stop normal if shifts from 1st to 2nd then 3rd to soon. The trans only have 125 miles on it so i have not hit full throttle.

Need more info. Was the trans just rebuilt? Is it a BRF transmission? Was the TCC solenoid replaced? Have you checked the line pressure?
