I rebuilt my first 200 4r, have done several 350/400's before, having shift issues which I believe to be t.v. pressure related. Vechicle actually drives but shifts very slow and sometimes hangs 3-4? I have a gauge tapped in above the shift linkage and get 80 psi in park/neutral/drive with an increase in reverse and both low 1&2 manual selection, 1/2 pressure higher than rev. pressure.
In park when I pull the t.v. cable without increasing engine speed there is no pressure increase, which I gather is not correct. Checked for cable bind, and actual t.v. valve movement with pan off, both seem O.K. I used the shift kit from Gil Younger and it had me remove a spring and install different springs in the t.v. setup in valve body.
I removed the valve body and replaced the shift kit springs with the stock setup, re-installed and still have the same pressure readings. My next step was to remove the trans and check the valves in the pump body. I also installed a larger boost valve (.500?) during the rebuild.
Can anyone suggest a certain valve I should check that would cause my problem? Any help would be great!
I also need to buy the CK book I have read about, guess I should have done that before the rebuild! Would the book shed some light on the problem?
