Kickdown band lever ratios

AlV said

Guess I should expect some overlap with a 4.2 installed when I finally get the trans into the car...with the understanding that My only counters being to adjust the front band and the adjusting the restrictor cup size. I don't necessarily mean at the same time.

It's really hard to keep up. lol

Not necessarily. It's all in the combination. As long as you have enough springs in the front clutch, 2 springs (or 1 real strong one) in the front servo, and the front clutch clearance isn't too tight you should be ok. Seen many that were ok, but also seen some that aren't. Hopefully it doesn't overlap because that's real detrimental to a trans. It's really not too hard to change a lever if you do have problems. Just drop the pan and VB and take off the torque converter cover and you can use a 1/4" drive ratchet and extension to take out the plug that leads to the lever pin. Then slide the pin back just far enough to get the lever out and the new one back in. Hopefully you don't have to worry about it
