not shifting right
 

since i had my tranny rebuilt it has not shifted right from 2nd to 3rd. if i am running it hard it never seems to want to shift. if i let out of the throttle it will shift fine or if i just drive responsible... ha right. also if i let out and coast for more than a few seconds it will down shift out of overdrive. it did that before i had the tranny rebuilt too. i didnt know if there were any adjustment and if there are what are the suppose to be set at.

Try setting your kick-down/TV cable what ever you want to call it. I'll find teh procedure here in a second

Here give this a ahot and let us know.

alright ill give it a shot. thanks

Is your kick down linkage set right?It doesn't sound like a linkage problem,but I would check it out anyway.On my truck the kickdown cable is mounted to the throttle bracket,and there is a locking clip that lets you slide the cable to the right position.It was touchy on my truck to get it to shift like I wanted.Factory setting for mine is .225 inch from the back of the slot pin to the back of the slot,but I ended up with .26 to make it shift sooner due to pump mods.Probably a thread somewhere pertaining to your truck.

well i adjusted it and it definately fixed the problem with it not wanting to shift from 2nd to 3rd but it still wants to down shift from overdrive when i let out on the trottle. it doesnt matter how fast i am going, i can be running 90 and it will still do it.

sounds like a tps problem

could be a tps problem.. Hold On Another second... :D

alright before i start adjusting it do i need to increase or decrease the voltage if it is downshifting too soon

From the link above

Make sure when you are done it still falls in the ranges specified in teh checking your TPS part. Let us know how it works.

i adjusted it and it is doing much better. it is very touchy so i still have alittle fine tuning to do but that was definately the problem. thanks for the help
