new member, got some questions...

just got the car a week or so ago, body needs a lot of work but it seems solid underneath and and engine and trans are good.gave it a tuneup, advanced the timing a bit and played with the carb a little. engine runs great and has tons of torque.. pings a tiny bit because of the timing but i have 87 in there. 93 should fix it... its not fast yet but hey its a stocker lg4, right?any how, my first question is... at WOT, the trans like to upshift at around 3500 from first to second. can't get it to stop doing this. sometimes it goes to redline and sometimes it upshifts early and its always at this RPM or around it... play with the TV cable or modulator? or is something just screwed up in the trans?also, any place i can get decent body panels? i need 2 fenders and a driver-side door skin. possibly a driver-side quarter panel skin, too.

Re: new member, got some questions...

You may have better luck asking in the transmission board. I assume you have a 700R4?
