Locar kickdown adjustment
I think I may have done it! Adjusted the throttle cable a little tighter, may actually need to back off it just a hair as it sticks ever so slightly. Then adjusted the shifter cable.. and adjusted... and adjusted... i found that my kickdown cable was actually slipping about 1/2inch after I'd set it where I wanted it. Finally got it to stick where I wanted it using some man strength to tighten the set nut.
Shifts under normal driving throttle at pretty dang close to 18-20mph for 1-2 and 2-3 shift is pretty dang close to 30. The 2-3 shift is much more coffee spiller than 1-2, 1-2 shift is actually pretty timid still.
Under WOT I shift 1-2 at about 4k and 2-3 at about 4k too! Idk if this is where its supposed to shift but both shifts are nice hard and no real slippage or anything. I did multiple pulls to 70ish mph. The only "problem" I had was with my last pull before going into my neighborhood, the 2-3 shift held a little longer and blipped to a little over 5k but I think its because I was letting off the throttle. Idk.
Maybe I'll have @70aarcuda come by one of these days and take her for a spin see what he thinks. I think he would be quite satisfied with his build :) I know I am!
I also had a new camero try to race me :rofl:I decided to continue my cruise at 35mph, he turned around after he got to the end of the street (I was not racing him) and he gave me a thumbs up and said nice car as he drove back by me.
Now time to wash the beast and put the redlines on it.
Thanks everyone for your help and support! If you have any ideas for what to do on the car next I'm all ears... :poke::lol:jk let's keep her in 1 piece for a while!
