Will not upshift at WOT??
My stock TPI '86 IROC-Z will not upshift at WOT. It shifts fine at part throttle and normal driving. I have not tried the governor adjustment spring weight kit yet. The TV cable has been adjusted to the correct spec. I did replace the governor with one from a stock '89 IROC but it only changed the part throttle shift points slightly. The upshift delay is so bad, that I believe the engine would fail before it would shift.
I have read a lot of info about adjusting the shift points with the governor weights and springs. But it would be helpful to have it upshift first.
Thanks, Andy

Back when i owned an evo 5 lockout on upshifts would occur if the clutch pedal wasnt adjusted properly it wouldnt completely disengage and that would cause the lockout. Adjusted the clutch and then it was fine.

Lower down in this section there is a how to I put together on how to enable the WOT 3-4 shift with pics.
OP I bumped my thread to bring it to the top. Have a look.
