If however you are actually in 3rd when you think you are in second then it is a release of the B2 and an engagement of the K2
The next best stage is to get hold of some pressure gauges and make some measurements - compare readings with data in the FSM / ATSG manuals. |
I'm aware of the usual 2nd gear start.
Since I can use both 1st and 2nd, would this help rule out any issues with the B1 since it isn't engaged for first? So the issue might come down to the K1 being faulty in some way?
I'd be checking the governor pressure correct? Since modulator is only for softening the shift from what I've read.
Lower than normal pressure might allow 1-2 to work barely, but fail when trying to go 2-3?
