What do you guys think?

While I have done plenty of reading on this topic lately I cannot find where the pressure goes after the govenor. Does the pressure go to the pistons which actuate the band?


Ok also I just realized that because I have been having fun shifting the trans on my own, I wasnt thinking about the fact that it hasnt been down shifting on its own if I just leave it in 3rd and smash the pedal. Leading me once again to believe I need to adjust the kick down linkage.

One thing though. as my throttle pressure arm on the trans is all the way forward, the link that attatches to it and then travels up to the next pivot point at the bell housing near the starter, hits the pivot itself. It is held to far forward by the arm on the trans. Im not sure whether I have the type that has the slide adjustment where its attatched to the arm. If so Ill have to move it a bit and then readjust all the upper part of the linkage.
Im wondering could the kick down be causing my problem?
