when my car is cold my shift points are at like 3 grand so...ive been shifting it manually. i go 1st,2nd, then drive or over drive. is that bad to do with my transmission. ive got a b&m trans pak shift kit witch, i guess, explains my wierd shift points. when its warmed up, its fine. shifts where it should. i adjusted the tv cable (it had so much slack) it made a little bit of a difference...maybe its disconnected at the trans? sorry about the mulitple questions...thanx for helping in advance

 

If it is disconnected at the trans, reconnect it. If it is stretched, change it. An out of adjustment tv will guarantee a future rebuild.

 

i adjusted it yesturday. it seems 2 be tight. but i still have the wierd shift points when its cold. shift kit throwing off something at the computer?? im clueless with this.

 

Generally speaking, shift points are controlled by the governor. You can remove it, clean it with carb cleaner, make sure the valve in the center moves freely etc. Inspect the gear and replace it if nescessary. You can buy just the gear if needed. You can also buy a complete governor if needed.

 

is any of that to hard to do? my car has a b&m trans pak in it. perhaps the gov and springs and wieghts were changed along with that and this is all just the shift kit? also..when i did the tv cable i made it tight...i didnt adjust it by goin WOT after i made it tight. im at work now..im gonna work on it in the parking lot. im going to do it like it should have been done the 1st time

 

the ratcheting adjuster on the cable has been stuck half open. even when i adjusted it i didnt engage it all the way. i broke it loose by pressing hard with a piece of metal and i got it adjusted and now its perfect! revs high when i hammer it, shifts normal when its cold...its great...im glad thats all it was

 

Good news
