Your probably gettin tired of my trans questions but let me just ask a couple more.

History:

85 300TD with a new ( reman) trans one year ago. Purhcased in California and brought to Utah so no call backs to the trans shop available to me. Trans ran fine no complaint by the previous owner.

Under hard acceleration or going up hills ( under torqu load) the trans shifts fine as it should.
On down hill or at low RPM and no load I get hard ( neck popping) shifts..
Indy shop tell me that it is 95% bowden cable adjustment...


What I have done. Checked all vac lines and adjusted bowden cable ( 50 times).. again highway speeds no problems.. runs great.Found what I feel is the sweet spot. The pnly problem is no load shifting or coasting. When it shifts it does so real hard.
FWIW: had to replace a center bearing which should have no affect on shifting.

anyone care to give me an opinion as to why the hard shifts under no load or light load? Do new trannys just shift hard until break in?

I'll be thankin ya..

Bennett
