Hi all,
I recently re-installed my transmission after taking it out to have the torque converter checked out. The only changes made were a new front pump and the installation of Precisions 'pump tube' kit. I also had to put a different (used) TV cable on it.
The first problem I encountered was that I could not get the TV cable to adjust by itself. No matter how hard I pulled on the throttle linkage it wouldn't ratchet out. After goofing around with it for days (manually adjusting it) I have it to where it shifts okay but downshifts are funny (doesn't want to downshift). If I push the cable toward the front of the car to fix this then 2-3 and 3-4 get really sloppy on the upshift. There doesn't seem to be any happy medium. I can't get it to upshift/downshift like it did previously.
The only other change while the trans was out was that I spliced in about 12" of new line to both fittings on the transmission. I used a tubing bender but one line (the bottom one, which I understand is the feed from the cooler) kinked slightly. It looked okay, but I wonder if this isn't my problem? Is this a good theory, or if it were causing a pressure problem it would do it all the time irrespective of what I do to the TV cable?
TIA,
Jim
