My tranny wont shift into 2nd gear until it is at 35mph and let off teh gas then apply till it changes into 2nd, and WILL NOT change into 3rd at all. Has new filter and new fluid. Also, will not shift manually when dropping it into 1st gear anbd shiftign it into 2nd. Please Help.

 

Make sure that you got the old o-ring seal fom the old filter out of the hole in the front pump that it is in. If not that cold be the problem.

 

i actually had the same problem last sunday,i lost third and fourth and it would barley shift into 2nd.i put up a post and people told me it was my 3-4 gear pack.but i got it fixed and it was the governor.it regulates the psi of the trans fluid at different speeds of vehickle travel.anyways,it cost me just over $200 to fix at the tranny shop and thats with taxes,oh...and that is canadian too.so it will probably be about $9.99 american!!!

 

I have been messing around with the governor weights, trying to adjust WOT shift points. I put a rebuilt Delco governor in & had similar problems. Mine would not downshift into 1st at stops & the WOT 2-3 shift won't happen. I swapped it with another governor I had & now it works well.

 

ok Ill check it out, thanks for the replies guys. I always thought it was a vacuum tube but i dotn have one goign to the tranny.

 

Well, I tookit into the shop and told htem about the govnor and...since my mom is paying for it *snicker* I told them to install a street/strip B&M shifter kit lol :lala:

 

Don't go with the bm kit use a transgo. I'm serious I have a bm stage 2 kit and it's a pos in my opinion. They have you drill a hole and that can make the trannie wear out. Just use a transgo it has additional parts not in the bm kit thats why it's higher priced.
