Re: new tranny??
No its not a new trans, but its a later model engine and tranny so i figured it should have a little more life in it but i guess if a rebuild or replacement is in order thats what it takes.

Re: new tranny??
Sounds like your modulator is sticking, or you have a vacuum leak going to it. Check for cracked vacuum hoses leading to the trans. It is not a kick down problem, thats not the way that works.
When is the last time you changed your fluid and filter?

Re: new tranny??
The kick down down shifts the trans to 2nd gear when you stomp the gas, I don't think that is your problem, but look on the driver's side of your engine, behind the carb. There will be a bolt going through a long slot in a plastic base, with a cable running through it. loosen the bolt and slide the cable foward or backward until you are happy with the performance.

Re: new tranny??
