Re: My RPM's are too high!
Is it going into high gear or staying in second? Count the shifts.

Re: My RPM's are too high!
The convertor locking up will get some RPM reduction, but it won't get 600rpm worth. The kickdown cable not working is where I would start. Find out why it's not working.

Re: My RPM's are too high!
thats pretty normal. th350 do NOT have a over drive. only 3 gears. the kick down cable has nothing to do with driving. it only for what the name employs. kick down. down shift.
ive got a shorter tire. 25.5 inch tall. with only 3:42 gears im doing 65 on the highway at 3k.. if you want do drop your rpm's go with a 700r4. its a over drive tranny.
