Re: {Chrysler 300} 1962

Just a data point- our 62 sport is the opposite- she shifts too early (both the 1-2 and the 2-3). Have tried adjusting the linkages slightly at both the carb and down by the trans, and can get a later shift, but then the shift is harder and not smooth. So, point being, it doesn’t take much adjustment of those linkage adjusters to make a difference. Also I understand that there is a throttle valve adjustment screw but I don’t know the adjustment procedure. Still working through this on our end…

Wanted to pick the brains of those much more knowledgeable than I am :).

Working with my ’62 300 Sport which has:
- Rebuilt torque flight.
- New shifter cable.
- Have adjusted the shifter cable (at the trans) per the shop manual.
- Have adjusted all carburetor to transmission linkage specs multiple times per the shop manual.

The problem:
- Car does not wish to shift from 1st to 2nd, when cold. It’s almost as though I need to mash the pedal to the floor to get it to shift.
(This seems to be that the Transmission Lever being out of adjustment; right?)
- But...Once car warms up it shifts perfectly fine.

Are there other adjustments I need to consider?
(Like bands perhaps?)

Thanks!
