Trans Question...

Post by mickphatmac »

More good stuff from yours truly,(lol) trying to get it road worthy for Super Cell in case you're wondering why the sudden onslaught of ?'s!?

AnyWhooo….

It shifts well, and runs well. It barely touches 1st when you take off and heads right into 2nd. But it feels like it's DROPPING A LOAD when you put it into REVERSE!? The whole Bronco just squats! Drive has a bit of a tug to it but not near as bad as Reverse. Is there anything I can adjust? Vacuum hose? Vacuum Modulator? Vacuum goes directly into the rear of the intake, not the carb.

If it's something on the inside of the trans, count me out...and...is this something that need immediate attention or can it wait?

Trans Question...

Viper can verify, but I do believe what you are feeling is the shift kit. I know you can adjust the modulator, but it only affects specific things, of which I canΓÇÖt remember. If you get on it, it holds the 1-2 shifts for the higher rpms, but in town driving it was a quick shift to 2nd.

High idle speed, looseness in the driveline, maybe some wear inside the trans all contribute to the clunk. There are no trans adjustments that will do anything for it. See if it still happens with hubs locked and front axle engaged. I suspect most of it is after the trans.
