Dashpots and shifting

Samuel,
Thanks for the pointers on the dashpots. I have the green one and I didn't find any orifices on the vacuum lines. I will use the information you posted in the fine tuning process. It is especially important because the 1-2 shift is "rugged", the 2-3 shift is too soon and 3-4 is okay. The 2-3 follows the 1-2 by a second or two unless you are laying down the throttle.

I will post the summary, but it will be a couple of weeks before I get my hands on the car again. Between work, camping, household chores and my daughter I won't get 5 minutes on it for at least 2 weeks. I'm thrilled to have it in it's current state for now.

This was suppose to be my car and I let her drive it while she saves some $$$ for her car. She has fallen in love with it. The worst thing I could do now is replace the Becker now.
