I am reading through toddyvol's thread and it sparked some research on my part to write down some figures on what my transmission is doing -- since it is doing something different than toddyvol's and I don't want to hijack his thread I figured I'd start my own.
Some history you should know is that when I first bought the car you guys at this forum graciously walked me through the MityVac processes of testing and found that my VCV was bad, I bought a new one and replaced it. The shifting was so much better I couldn't complain. Now ever since I have had the car it has been doing something else interesting:
The car shifts down through those gears well (minus the K2-spring upgrade I should probably invest in) but going from 4th to 3rd does clunk. I just recently had the trans flushed but it does have a small leak so I am constantly checking to make sure the right amount of fluid is in it (I can usually tell just but how it shifts when it's a little low). Anyway I wanted to share my experiences with you guys, I think people were saying to check the kick down cable or whatever it's called but I haven't located it yet nor attempted to adjust it and I am not 100% sure that is really my problem at this point. What do you guys think? Thanks, Frank Instant Update: I found an older forum thread where you guys helped me to a point I was never able to test, which was that it may be a faulty bowden cable.
