Rebuilt 904 w/ tf2 shifting woes...

Is the vb in post 71 the one you installed? Did you keep both original vb halves together? But you said the converter was spooling, not the trans...Did the motor rev onn the 2-3 shift? Would you actually describe how you adjusted the manual valve rather than "per the instructions"? Because obviously, somewhere, somehow; instructions were not followed.

Yes the vb halves are from the same vb.

Manual valve. Grind down the vb where the manual valve inserts into the vb. Then you bend the arm tip with pliers on the throttle lever to have the manual valve sit flush with the 3rd wall.

When it spools- it feels like the converter is spooling but it doesn't shift, and yes the motor revs as well. Its not nearly as bad after doing more adjusting of the kd and stabilizing the kd/throttle cable bracket.
