518 short shifts and no od

Governor should be right. I haven't ran into any problems like your describing but I also haven't done much work on 518's. Make sure the throttle pressure linkage is adjusted correctly like described above. If it is and it still doesn't shift right something's screwed up in the valve body. Maybe the rebuilder put something in wrong or left out a check ball. Did he install any type of shift improver kit?

he installed a transgo 2 kit
