Fun with Lokar kickdown

I've never heard the term "pulse" used when describing a shifting problem so sorry but I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Maybe try backing off the adjustment of the cable just slightly so there's a little slack in it. That will allow it to go into third a little quicker.

BTW: Do I understand you correctly as saying you did opperate it with the old style linkage on it before installing the Lokar cable system and it worked right? It was only after you installed the Lokar system that the problem happened? Make sure your blaming the right part. Just because the trans. is rebuilt don't mean it's right and what your describing sounds more like a transmission problem than a throttle pressure (kickdown linkage) problem. I know you don't really want to hear that and I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but that's what it sounds like.

Good luck.
