So I finally drove my cuda after 15 years.

I am running an XV kickdown cable, and with it hooked up the tranny is acting weird, you have to rev it up to get it in gear..and driving down the road, it feels like it is poping in and out of gear. At idle it comes out of gear and you have to rev it up to get it to go.

I unhooked the kickdown and it works much better, stays in gear going down the road and at idle, but of course you have to manually shift it.

Is this just a kickdown adjustment, or am I into something bigger?

Trans is out of 1980 New yorker and is a lock up unit if that matters.

dont run it without the kickdown cable connected as you will burn up the tran. hook it back up and adjust it so when the throttle is wide open the kd lever is all the way back. you need that pressure on the lever to make it shift right.

thanks man...it was a combination of being low on fluid and a small kickdown adjustment.
