A band adjustment won't hurt anything but, it sounds like a throttle
pressure issue. Not enough.
Our
’62 Chrysler 300 Sport has less than 5,000 miles on its rebuilt
383 & Torqueflight.
The
transmission has never shifted right.
I
recall how these transmissions are supposed to shift from 2
prior rebuilds for our ’62 Sport & ’62 NY Wagon.
I
recall they allow you to feel the shifts.
I
recall what a ball it is when doing 55mph & you floor it…how
it downshifts to 2nd & launches you forward to pass others.
This
rebuilt trans shifts way too quick, most all the time…..like a
Buick Dynaflow with no feeling between the gears.
Sometimes
it doesn’t want to shift from 2nd to 3rd; a more rare issue.
And
so I think through the adjustment process and need your
collective brains, please….
- I have done very accurate step by step adjustments from
the Carburetor Linkage to the Accelerator Pedal to the
Transmission, per the shop manual.
- And done this more than once; to check myself.
- I have done a very accurate step by step adjustments of
the Shifter Cable, per the shop manual.
- This is a new Shifter Cable, so the adjustment was
necessary upon installation of the drivetrain.
- But I have not repeated this adjustment since
installation.
- I have NOT done the Band Adjustments listed in the shop
manual….YET….
- I don’t have a lift; so its more of a pain to jack
up the car, set jack stands, crawl under, drain the
pan, and such…but so be it.
- I don’t have the super-secret factory tools notated
on page 44 (Tools 3380 & 3705 - What are they
in real life?)
- I don’t have a torque wrench that gives Inch Pounds,
so will have to bo buy one (only have one that
measures foot pounds)
Anyone feel that I should proceed with the Band
Adjustments?
Or other ideas?
Thank you all!
