Re: Hard Shifts Cold; Smooth Shifts Warm

only when it is warm, and not always, I think it has to do with the TV cable and valve setup, since a slow acceleration hardshifts cold. I haven't had it sorted out yet, just working through it.

TV valve may be the problem as the tranny shop adjusted and checked out the TV cable.
