Re: Torqueflite Cable Adjustment

[Dave Cornelius <lt7dave@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've been thinking that this may be the answer.  I did drain the torque convertor with the first filter change, by the way.  I should have mentioned that earlier - I figured some of you might ask about that.  I'm not sure where more crud may be hiding that it plugs the filter up so fast, but there is still a lot of fluid in there even when the TC and pan are drained.  The flush may be the answer.  I thought it would be good to throw it out there in case someone had a solution I wasn't aware of.  Thanks for all the help, guys.
