Back off the kd cable some first
I think you gentlemen were correct! My band seemed to be adjusted a little to lose, closer to 3 turns backed off.
Ran the adjusting screw all the way in, finger snug, then backed it out 1 3/4 turns. Took it for a little drive and it didn't flare up like it was. It was however downshifting part throttle and I'd have to let off the gas to get it to shift, but the shifts were quick. I'm going to set it at 2 turns out then re-adjust the kd linkage then see how it does. I tried setting it when I got home but I kept burning the **** out of my arm and hands lol. So now I'm waiting at In-N-Out since thats what the wife and kiddos wanted for dinner.
Alrighty... put it at 2 before I read the last reply... just did some very light driving in the neighborhood because I had company for the drive and she wasn't in the car seat.
So at 2 turns backed off, kd properly adjusted the shifts are nice and crisp. Again very light driving maybe 2k rpms,1-2nd shift was about 16 mph (but nice and crisp; 2nd-3rd was around 25mph but... nice and crisp.
My co-pilot was apparently having to much fun... she loves going in the garage with daddy, playing with tools and going for drives in the purple car... Just like her brother and sister.

Awesome! If it works, it works! I don't know how you resist WOT testing (when there's no passengers, that is) LOL
Looks like Rusty called this one a week ago in post #12. He asked you if you double checked the band adjustment...
1.5 turns from snug. I still would adjust the line pressure up. Too low will fry the tranny. Kim
I wouldn’t go to 1 turn out or was that finger tight or snug with a short wrench? Adjust the line pressure up. Kim
The car didn't have the stock kd linkage, I totally agree that it would probably be the better set up.
Spooling? Turbo cars spool when they are building boost. Like spooling at the staging line, you hear the turbo spooling or building boost then when you let off the brake when boost has been built and the car takes off. A delayed shift describes it too, I feel the car wanting to shift but instead of slamming into gear it feels like the transmission is "spooling/or winding up" while the engine is revving as well. Then it catches the gear and hard shifts.
My apologies for using terminology that may have been confusing for some.
Not a problem, but I still don't know what spooling is regarding what a transmission is doing. I understand the turbo reference, though.
And if u would of said it like this 150 posts ago it would of been fixed that much sooner. KimThe transmission just sounded like and felt like it was spooling. Where the engine would rev up and transmission tc felt like it was spinning but it wasnt catching gear.
It inomuch better now for the most part though.
