727 Issue With 2-3 Upshift

70Duster440 said
I’ve installed the Bouchillon setup on more than one vehicle and really like it. I’d consider the factory procedure only a starting point. Once you’re in the ballpark then a tiny adjustment (as others have said) can make a big difference. You can adjust at the carb brackets or by depressing the very difficult to depress black button at the cable end allowing it to ratchet forward or back in small increments.

I’ll also add that if the kick down sleeve is accidentally installed backwards you’ll get a similar problem that no amount of cable adjusting will fix.

Thanks. The black button is useless lol. The sleeve is installed correctly. I have it to where it will shift at wot but hangs there ever so slightly before the shift. The normal 1-2 and 2-3 upshift is better as well. I might play more tomorrow. Makes me want to install a 4 speed :)

I am a fan of the single rod kickdown which I have in my Belvedere. Very simple but getting the throws correct on a non stock application would make me go crazy.
