Hey guys i recently had a knew tranny installed, and it worked perfect for a week, then i took it back so he could make sure everything was working properly, well when i got it back it seems to take quite a while to get in gear for the 1-2 shift but especially for the 2-3 shift, and its even worse under hard excelleration. it seems to be in neutral for a second or something.

I may just take it back to the guy in a couple of days and say i like the way it was before.

oh yeah i have a 1990 350 with 373 gears, and i think the guy might smoke crack or something but when i went to pick my car up, he called it a firebrid.. im like you mean camaro.. he thought it was a bird not a camaro,

Start here: To adjust the TV Cable skip the book method and do this: Press the 'D' shaped lock button on the adjuster and loosen the cable setting (The black housing that the metal cable is in will move forward). Now, have someone floor the gas pedal while you check to see if the throttle plate is open all the way. Usually they are off a little and will wiggle. Do whatever you have to do to get it open solid. Now, with the pedal still floored, press the 'D' button and pull the cable casing (the black tube) back as hard as you can (putting maximum tension on the metal cable) and release the button. You now have the engine, tranny and gas pedal all in sync at WOT. Mark the cable casing so if for some reason it gets moved you can know where to put it again. The problem with the 'self adjust method' is that it bends things and puts them permanently out of whack. It is also the full TV setting, which is theoretically what the GM method does.

sounds like my trans before I put the corvette servo in. The servo really firms up the the 1-2 and the flare between the 2-3 which is like what you described
