Hi
I have a 56 when it shifts from 2 to 3rd if I'm on the gas it will slip bad. So I go nice and easy untill it's in 3rd once in 3rd you can't make it slip. Which brings up the next problem , down shift rod does not work. This could be related I don't know. If I'm cruising along and floor it the transmission will not kick down, or down shift.
I just went through the procedure of adjusting the down shift rod or throttle control rod , whatever they call it . Mine was way off and after the propper set up it made absolutely no difference in the slipping or the downshifting.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Tom
