Dartin for Divorce
Updates- the good and the bad..
The good first- i loosened and re-tightened the front band... finger tight and 1 turn out. Then I set the throttle cable and idle speed to 750-800 rpms. Then set KD to no slack. Set the idle screws to factory specs. Then set the secondary door to factory specs, when at factory I tightened it like 2 turns tight.
Took it for some driving. Had to make the KD a touch tighter with the little adjusting nuts. 1-2 shift is around 22mph and 250p rpms, 2-3 shift is around 45mph and roughly 3k rpms. No flare and I can make it shift a touch earlier if I let off the throttle a bit for the 2-3 shift.
Right now I'm getting a slight hesitstion (no bog) when in 3rd and I go WOT, but I'm assuming its because... its kicking down into 2nd gear and the hesitation is just the time it takes to downshift :thumbsup::steering: power is good, I have traction and don't spin tires :( so that will have to be corrected at some point lol.
The bad- I'm done adjusting it. My OCD/ADHD is making me want to have it all 100% perfect, but its a 51yr old car transmission with only a 200 dollar rebuilt 2500 stall stock 11in converter. There is no perfect with my car at this time.
