Nothing wrong with the way it shifts, just converter gets tighter as it warms up.

spend the $$ on the off set shackle set up - low impact on originality of the car - then get them Keystones on there with MT street radials - it'll hook up
 
I stepped out to water the new trees. Did I read right? Two old cherries wanting to service a tranny? :eek:

Nah, the converter is too light for the application. Needs to be a 3500-3800 stall for the engine.
 
Here's what happens to ATF with temp...

This is why a hot ATF temp reduces stall speed. With a much lower viscosity, the fluid flows faster and more easily causing the converter to more fully transfer the power to the output shaft at a lower rpm. Add in more engine torque and the fluid resistance drops too. That's why the same converter in a high torque engine has a lower stall speed than it does in a lower torque engine.
