Well I got the engine running really good it was spark plug wires It’s got power when I punch it l. I’m kind of confused I don’t want to damage anything, I don’t know how to explain this. Can only the 1st gear shift be slightly late from a mis calibrated governor or too tight tv cable. I have my tv cable self adjusted and I put a new governor gear.

 

It seems that the light part throttle before going into first is a little late. I can feel and hear the engine rev higher but i don’t have that deep low speed 1st gear off the line like I remember. I’m totally lost now I’m even afraid to drive it any further , please I would greatly appreciate some help. I don’t want to start having to pull the thing apart again!!!

 

I hear that the band could be a little too grabby when new until they break in

 

Here is a pic of my cable adjusted

 

I think I may have mistaken wot for the movement of the throttle by my hand on the linkage. I pushed the linkage all the way by hand until it would stop. Maybe I should of used the pedal inside the car

 

This could of caused it to be too tight?? Please someone help

 

Well I went back and adjusted the cable by WOT with the gas pedal. It now shifts very good, nearly identical to my old transmission

 

good thing you didn't roast the 700r4,tv cable adjustments can be finicky
