53BUICK
Guest
Hey guys, Im new to your forum,it looks cool.
anyway, Ive got a 53 buick with a 74 455
and 400 trans. I dont have the kick down installed yet,the 400 uses electric kickdown? so do I wire this so I have 12volts to the trans at full throttle?
my next problem is this trans upshifts very quickly,there is no delay when upshifting(at 1/2 ,3/4 throttle)it will be in 3rd gear brfore you get thru an intersection.I replaced the modulater,no change.Am I correct to assume the kickdown only delays shifts at full throttle? The modulater should still delay shifts at throttle positions less than full.
I also removed the modulater valve in the trans ,it moves freely,do I have a valve sticking in the valve body?(Im an acura mechanic and have rebuilt many acura transmissions but I have no experiance with
REAL car trannys)
Thanks in advance for any help
