That POS

Well I took the truck for a drive for the first time in 6 months when I bought it. The engine is running pretty good now but now the tranny dont want to shift. If did it the last time I drove it, I hope hoping for better news then what I think it may be

Re: That POS

If you can shift it manually, then first thing to check is the line to the vacuum modulator.

Re: That POS

when trying to shift manually... you need to rev it a bit higher than where you think it *should* shift... then pop the shifter in 2nd.

Good point, Sir - I neglected to note that. How's the 'burb coming along?

Or just start by checking the line to see if it's disconnected at the modulator...I finally had to put a clamp on mine :/

Re: That POS

Another thing to look at... if it is a TH350, is the kickdown cable stuck in the fully pulled out position?
