i have a later 727 i believe out of an 89 power ram?
since i got it its had a slow 2-3 shift when moved manually
it has been completely rebuilt, clutches bands springs etc,
received a tf-2 kit and some valve body modifications.
b and m shifter, b and m hole-shot 2100 stall torque convert, b and m extended pan.



all clutches, belts. valves, springs, are all new and hopefully adjusted properly.
park, reverse, neutral, drive, 2 and 1 all work beautifully.

1-2 is rock solid and grabs perfectly.
2-3 at part or mid throttle is fine. WOT revs up as if in neutral then grabs 3rd. (kickdown/overlap/pressure? issue?)
putting it in drive/3rd goes through up and down gears perfectly fine even WOT.

i do not have a kick down or throttle leavers.
they are just at a stationary spot. possibly one of my issues.

i do believe the torque converter is full and level is ok as dips in neutral show fine.




it is however intercooled, and i routed it to keep fluid in it at all times but didnt bleed it (thinking pressure will push it through) and may have air in system/torque converter.

is band out of adjust? do i have to adjust the pressure? need guru help!

pictures of what my the trans and leavers look like.





can i externally adjust the overlap from the external kickdown adjuster stud to 72 ft-lbs then back it off 2.5 turns?, or perhaps this requires adjustment of the throttle shaft?
or whatever lingo is proper for either of these.
