Re: Torqueflite Cable Adjustment

[Herb <zephyr9900@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Drain the pan & converter the next time into a pan that will hold about 15
QTs of fluid.  The drain plug is on the back side of the converter by the
small hole in the flexplate.  Drop the inspection cover from the front of
the tranny & rotate the engine till you see it.  When reinstalling the fluid
just put in 4 or 5 QTs start engine and add additional oil till full, about
10 to 12 QTs.  If you add to much fluid at start up it will pump the fluid
out the vent or up the filler tube having you running for the oil dry!! 
Also if you use to small of a drain pan you will be running for the oil dry
also.  (-;  Just changing the fluid in the tranny pan is wasting your time &
resources.  Figure your only changing 1/3 of the bad oil when you change
just the fluid in the pan mixing good fluid with bad.

Just a guess , but if your converter is full of dirty oil, it will circulate
back to your filter and plug it up right away...........................MO

Thanks for all the help, guys.  I decided to try fine tuning the adjusting
wheel/nut.  My daughter worked the buttons while I made adjustments one hole
at a time.  She was able to give me feedback until we had it dialed in and
back to normal.  Now if I could just get it to stop plugging filters.  The
first filter I put in it was plugged after just 6 miles, and then it
wouldn't shift at all.  Up until then, it shifted great - no signs of
trouble.  The filter was all gunked up - just like the one that was in it
when I got the car.  My theory/hope was that it's junk working through the
system - and maybe sediment in the cooler.  Rather than have the radiator
boiled out (the radiator looks great), I bypassed the cooler and put in an
auxilary cooler for 1/2 the price of boiling the radiator.  After another
new filter went in, it shifted really nice in the driveway (once I got the
cable adjusted).  But after about 15 minutes of running, no more shifting.
My
  guess is the new filter is plugged again.  There weren't any chunks of
anything nor any metal in the pan or filter both times I had the pan off -
just sludge in the filter.  I haven't dropped the pan again yet - my time
alottment for woking on it is up for today.
 
I don't know enough about automatics to know if my theory is plausable yet.
Maybe there are other issues, but a new filter produced great shifting - at
least initially - both times.  Why it's plugging up is the question.
