I am up to the 4,000 mile mark on the 116 now and everything is going very well. I have, however, encountered a rather annoying characteristic I have never before experienced with the 722.120 transmission.

On occassion, it will not downshift into low range when leaving a stop sign or traffic signal, but will remain in the second speed range. Sometimes, if you apply a bit more throttle pressure than usual, it will downshift and work normally.

Since the condition seems to correct itself at times with increased throttle pressure, I believe it is not electrical but rather a valve that is sticking.

This surprises me since every single part in that transmission was cleaned and inspected, but anything can happen.

I will study the schematic later this week and post when I have taken corrective action.

Hope this thread will prove useful to someone...Bert
