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!
