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? 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.

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,

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

 

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."
