First off hi guys new to the forums. Im currently having issues with my 69 El Camino.
Im running a 350 with TH 350 tranny. The car is currently having issues shifting from 2nd gear to 3rd. First off I have changed the modulator with no effect even after adjustments. Here are the symptoms. 1-->2 shifts perfectly at about 15 mph the shift is firm. Shift form 2--->3 doesnt happen. I have run to 70+ MPH with no shift happening. At 40 or 50 MPH if I slip into neutral and then back to drive quickly car will shift cleanly to 3rd. A couple times at near WOT if I let off the gas quickly then acclerate again it will shift to 3rd again a nnice solid shift with no slip. I changed fluid and filter back and while it was apart removed the valve body and all pistons moved freely and everything was clean. There where no metal shaving in oil pan or filter. There was a slight black coating on bottom of pan otherwise teh insides where realy clean. Has anyone run into similar problems or have any suggestions where to go next? Could this be a governor problem?
Thanks in advance for all help.
