Hello guys,
my dad has a 360 with a TF 904. The problem is, that the engine stops running sometimes, when put in gear.
Sometimes it runs normal.
I have to say, that the kickdown linkage ise missing. I ordered a new cable, but it hasn't been shippet yet.
I shift it by hand but my dad doesn't. It has a big thermoquad on top.
I don't know if it has to do with the missing linkage, the carb or maybe the converter.
Is it possible, that the converter locks-up completely sometimes, even when the engine is reving low?
It seems, that this does not occur if you put it in R or 2 instead of D. But maybe it is just coincidence.
When I install the new kickdown I also check if I can reajust the band.
EDIT:
I forgot something. It seems as if the transmission in D ignores the 2nd gear. It tries to shift but it ends up in 3rd.
By hand everything is fine.
I don't think that it is because of the missing kickdown. Normally the trans should also shift back in 2nd when driving slowly, shouldn't it?
So maybe the transmission shuts down the engine while in D because it is in 3rd already, even if the car stands still?
