Fishy, your description of setting the kick down isn't the same as the service manual I have, where did you get that info from? Makes me wonder if I havn't got mine set wrong now and that may explain why I can't get the damn thing to down shift in drive when I mash the gas, and as Jones said I also have a problem with late harsh shifts into 3rd. I am going to go and try your method right now. I will have to come back and kiss your a$$ if that solves my problem, LOL. Thanks a trillion!!! :thumbup:
To be honest I don't remember where I learned that from. I've been doing them that way ever since I rebuilt my first trans in 1980. I think I learned it from my auto instructor. I'm not the best writer so hopefully I described it right. I have a service manual for my 68 Cuda I'll have to dig it out and see how they describe it.
