Re: Late shift-automatic! 700 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be G.N. on  Thu May 17 09:02 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I have/had the same problem.

Only I have/had it when engine/transmission was cold. !!!

After 2 traffic lights it's fine.

My mechanic adjusted the kickdown cable.

Check the FAQ ! As I understand it is :

shorter cable = early shift

longer cable = late shift

I am not so shure if I like it now.

Is your problem always or when trans is cold / warm / hot ?

There are also additives for sticking valves.

I never tried that.

Hope it helps
