Is this at part throttle or WOT? this might be too simple but would a weaker spring on the 1-2 shift valve let it move (shift) earlier and a stouter spring on the 2-3 shift valve so it would shift later. No expertise here just thinking out loud


Part throttle. The 1-2 shift for me is acceptable. Good and firm. It's really how I think the 2-3 shift should be to me and probably just seems a little late because the 2-3 is so soon after and kinda bouncy. So my thinking was the spring in the governor for the 2-3 may be too weak. I was wondering if there was a good kit to try that may help the issue? I thought about messing with the throttle rod too, but that would affect both shifts and not really allow me to do anything specific with the 2-3 shift right?
