Re: 700r4 shifting late
There was a link in that thread with more detail. It's under a dome shaped cover on the side of the transmission.

Re: 700r4 shifting late
thanks ill check it out. but i was thinking if maybe the previous owner added less weights to the governor to increase the shift points already. if this is true would i hurt anything if i just use the car for everyday driving? it has a high way gear in the differential so that lead me to believe somebody altered the shift points. all i know right now is the car is fast lol, and it goes through the gears alittle quicker when i punch it (WOT)
