WTF 727 troubles--EDIT may be fixed
What ratio front band lever do you have in it and does it have the spring under the accumulator? I'm not positive if the spring will even do any good with the cheetah VB but I know taking the spring out and blocking the accumulator on a stock VB makes the 1-2 shift firmer. Might be worth a try installing a spring. I asked about the lever because the higher the ratio the firmer the shift. I believe Cheetah VB's call for a 3.8 lever..
The destructions from Cheetah must have been old (used body) They said nothing about what ratio arm, and I don't know what's in it (yet). They DID say to remove the spring, but it was NOT there
Did your trans. have a shift improver kit in it to begin with? If so was there a restrictor driven into the case that feeds the front clutch? If so removing it will allow the front clutch to apply quicker.
Don't know the trans history. It and the engine came out of a junk van for 350 bucks. It DID have a Torker 340 intake, which I removed, and AFB, so "somebody" did something to it
I have the ATSG and also Munroe's book on the TF, I'll see what I can learn about that restricter. Sounds like I'll be into it again
Correct. No low gear burnouts.
(Say in voice of Darth Vader) "OhhDAMN"
After I posted this question, I went to the destructions page at Cheetah, and found their cautions on the subject.
Well I'll have to read up and be careful. I do have "some shifters" long story, and will probably be installing one or two of 'em if the weather holds
Thanks for your input. TF's are new to me, I was always a 'stick' man, but now my arthritis and other old injuries prevent my left leg from operating heavy clutches. So I've determined to become an "automatic guy."
