Been working on my 1970 torqueflite for a while now. I finally got my shift point issue resolved but have overlap on the 2-3 shift. I've had the valve body out and cleaned it. At some point someone installed a 5.0 kickdown lever and the trans also has a controlled load kickdown servo (1971 and later style). I've got line pressure screw adjusted to 1 and 3/16" and the front band to 72 in/lbs and backed off 1.5 turns since it has the 5.0 lever. I pulled out the servo while in there and was going to put a blocker tube in it in place of the small inner cushion spring but it already had a thicker washer that acts as a blocker and the spring had been removed. Besides yanking the trans and switching the lever is there anything I can do with pressure or band adjustment to help with the overlap?
