'92 Gen I A/T - Shift problems
 

Hail to all the members here: I am in hopes that someone can direct me in the right direction. I have way too fast of shifting from 1st to 2nd and then to 3rd speed. My shift pattern is as follows >> From acceleration 1-sec's shift to 2nd, then 2-sec's to 3rd.

I also have problems with this trans wanting to jump back to 3rd from O/D when I try to powerup, but I have seen here on this site where someone provided short instruction as to running the O/D wires to a toggle swt, so that may take care of that issue.

Have any of you ever run into this before? :humm: Thank you!!

At what speed is it shifting? ou say to fast, you mean to early?

You might need to adjust teh TV/Kickdown cable

RSWORD's, indeed, I meant shifting way too early. As to speed? The issue from 1st to 3rd, being too quick happens immediately and before I even get to say 20 mpg.
Bam-Bam- - Bam. O/D however I have always had to feather off the pedal to get it in there and then up to 60mph's I dare not try stepping into the pedal or I lose O/D until I am over 60mph again

Oh yeah, it may help for you to know, that this was the same occurrence before I pulled the entire engine and same drivetrain out of the '92 Body it was in. Everything except for the front and rear axles was taken from the Gen I body and put into my Gen II body.

look in the link I put in my post above. I would start there.

RSWORDS, you are the best man!! I did see that posting and copied it out. It Worked!!! She shifts very smoothly for the first time for me here in the two years since I built her. Thank you so very much. :ok1:

Now I am trying to paitently wait for Denny to send me that pin and waiting for the governer spring. I think those two items will finally take care of my pulls of this 31' RV/Twin Slides/14K lbs., up Monarch Pass without having to be floored to maintain 45 mph. Unless you can think of anything else I could do? I am also installing two boneyard after market Transmission coolers to the bottom of the under carriage with a toggle swt controlled electric cooling fan as trans getting over 230 degrees F.

You will love the DennyT, I would look into a convertor for that tranny and a shift kit. Then maybe a compressor updrade for the turbo, then exhaust, then injectors then, then, then, :D

Its never ending.

Actually I already did the 5" Turbo Back exhaust system and went to the smaller Turbine housing and larger injectors, I al fairly happy with the large extra boost that all gave me, but I forgot by installing the larger injectors, that I would need to somehow increase the amount of fuel to really pop those bad boys the way they were designed, so the Denny-T I am hoping will resolve that one for me :c:

What injectors did you go with?

I purchased the Lucas brand for Gen I Cummins (INJ04) form TSTProducts.com, I got the 16cm Turbine housing from them as well.

"Lucas® injectors for 89-93 Ram diesels. The injectors will add 28HP and 56LB/FT TQ for the non-intercooled engines and will add 52HP and 104LB/FT TQ for the intercooled engines."
