Pushbutton so the Park lever is "Down" (engaged) and the Shift is in Neutral

The cables will suck fluid thru them. They’re designed too. This can create not only air pockets but can make you think it’s sucking ATF. With the trans topped off in Neutral and running. Cycle thru all the gears,P, R, D, 1, 2 and then work back to Neutral, re check your level.

And keep in mind, that housing that Parking cable goes into can hold a full pint or better of fluid too. You also have two pumps in a push button to fill too

Copy

Yes, been working through the cycle.... what would create a low hydraulic pressure situation though? and only at low temperature?

That's what I was thinking. Been reading on specs for double checking the band torques once the pan is dropped I may go pick up a system pressure test kit and check hdraulic pressure after getting it reassembled.

Make damn sure you have the correct filter as well. It HAS to have the two holes for the pump. And it is different that regular 904/727 filters!

Push buttons will only allow for buttons to be depressed when out of the Park position (up). When the system is cold, the buttons will not stay "in" they just bounce right back out until it warms.....

Warmed engine to operating temp (150 degrees indicated) last night. Checked fluid level - just above the "add 1 Pint" line so measured and added that amount of fluid.

This morning... zero responsiveness from the tranny when started Park lever is slack, push buttons have no "feel" to them just in and out effortlessly

65 degrees outside - overcast

Have to wait for engine to reach operating temp and then play around with the Park Lever and Push buttons... Usually end up getting Reverse back first...very slow to engage at that. Then Drive comes back but slowly as well.

After the long drive this morning the push buttons were crisp and responsive as normal. Allowed the engine to cool (180 degrees when I parked) and same issue, zero responsiveness or feedback from either Park lever or push buttons until the system warmed and then sluggish and inconsistent response.

1964 Valiant
225 Slant 6
A904 Torqueflite pushbutton
Using Valvoline DEX MERC ATF
Hot engine fluid check reads at the "full" mark,

Changed Park cable approximately one month ago. Did not experience any changes in performance (old cable was leaking heavily)

Changed transmission cooler rubber lines under the hood and since then it's been totally out there with this condition.

One other thing, I’m not sure what that Valvoline compares too, but it’s highly recommended for push buttons to be Type F

I realize this. What I’m saying is cycle thru all of them.
Then you may have a cable adjustment issue starting too.

Return it. That is incorrect and there is your problem

Neither of them is in the car. I ordered two different ones based on internet searches :) So pre-planned having to return something based upon what the one in the car looks like when removed.

The correct one is due to arrive tomorrow. The single showed up today.

Both listed as correct - The B30 is the "two hole" the TF42 is the single one.

B30 was out of stock so I (thankfully) ordered it from Amazon.

Standard

ATP B30 {3410253, 3621456} Premium Replacement; With 3rd Hand Gasket Info
Small Felt; Trans. code 30RH, 36RH, A727 (36RH), A904, A904 (30RH)

Well since everything else I've ordered from Rock Auto has been wrong that sounds about right :lol:

Hmmm i searched my order history and this came right up. What year did put in? Did I see you say it was a 66 transmission earlier? That’s impossible cause they stopped the push buttons in 64.
