You remember what cylinder the light coloured plug came out of?
i would pull the wire and see if there is a change.

Bend shifter linkage? Im thinking not, you would have noticed a change.
Need to find someone with a scope.
Oscilloscope. Will overlay each firing cylinder to aid in finding anomalies. Big words, i spelled em right the first time.
still doesent explain the noise and shifting issue.
Do you have a FSM or any of the transmission books? A 4' high pressure hose adapted to 1/8" MPT and a 0-300 psi gauge with a 3" face? Torqueflite pressure tests are easy to do. Or maybe adjust the bands.

The noise is from the transmission. It's not making it now... I adjusted the linkage again, now the sucker just doesn't want to move without a lot of throttle and then it just barely moves
I have chicken pliers. was leaning on a fender on a chevy 1/2 ton and pulled a plug wire.I like to get the wire loose on the cap and then lift one at a time off off while it's running to see if it makes a difference.
I know some people disagree with pulling a firing plug wire off, but it sure tells you what you want to know right away.
What I heard was while the car was driving with a load on it.
Can't tell anything with that noisy little sucker sitting in park.
You know, just for kicks throw another quart in that trans and see what it does.

remember it like yesterday.
30 years ago. Hei bites. Right through the zipper area.
might not even be the right dipstick...You know, just for kicks throw another quart in that trans and see what it does.
Like was mentioned; MORE FLUID. WTH, overfill it, "What difference does it make now?" Is this going to be one of those cars that end up with a FiTech system?

No Fitech for me. My carb works nicely.
Fitech system, no I like my carb.
I was under the impression that to much fluid was just as bad as to little fluid
It's a diagnostic move.
If in case for some reason you are not getting a correct reading on your fluid and it's sucking air.
One quart of fluid could solve the problem, or tell you the trans needs to come out.
I'll tell ya though, reverse is usually the first to go if it's low fluid because reverse uses more fluid to apply than the other gears.
You said reverse is fine, so it leads me to believe the level is probably ok or close enough.
The extra quart is still worth a try, as you don't have much to loose at this point unless you just want to tear it apart for the fun of it.
well, for that application, yesHe has 3 kids...i think he has the right dipstick.....
and that's how you know you own a 50+ year old carI dont want to tear it apart at all. My wife just yelled at me for the spending money on the car lol
I think we should drop the pan and check the filter....you can drain the fluid into a clean container to save it...i got a pile of filters and gaskets...
that way we ...i mean you dont spend any money...lol
I wouldnt overfill the transmission. If its at the full mark hot idling in neutral its fine.
