Sounds like the front band 2-3 shift is torqued to tight........I'd double check all the band specs, you'll need to drop the pan to get to the 1-R band,.....plus you'll need an INCH pound torque wrench, and a 1/2" square drive adapter, if I recall.......but before you touch anything, if you have any warranty or guarentee on the work/install take it back to the shop, because if you touch it, the warranty might go out the window?.......also check what the shiftkit specifications are for band adjustment, they may differ than factory specs, due to the kits installation, although I doubt it?......but confirm none the less

That would be a no on any warrantee, knew that when I had it done. He is good, he would probably fix it, but getting it there would not be easy, it is still gutted, in the middle of the restoration, and not on the road. I am going to want to try fixing it myself, just like every other stupid little Mopar problem I have had in the past year with the car. The front band adjustment is behind the front cooler line fitting, correct?

I have had good luck using this reference. I would actually tighten using the reference below and then back it off 2 turns. Then you are sure you are in the right place and can move on from there. http://www.moparts.org/Tech/Archive/auto/4.htmlAlso check your KD rod adjustment. It should be as far forward as possible and start moving as soon as you start opening the throttle. I had one that shifted REAL late and the front band had backed off since I didn't tighten the nut down after initial rebuild.

I first tried it with the rear wheels up, it would go in first, and then when in 2nd the rear wheels were dragging, then would free, then would drag. The rear end turn perfectly in neutral, the brakes are not binding. I just don't know where to start on backing off the adjustment, if that is it, a 1/4 turn? A 1/2 turn?
This is not an accurate way to test , have you actually DRIVEN IT ???
Is the problem the 1-2 shift or the 2-3 shift , letting off the gas is not the way to test the shifts .
running up my post count some more .

The original post makes no mention of 3rd gear, only that letting off of the gas feels like the brakes are on but in what gear?

Since I don't have a lift, and also since I only want to get messy once, would this drain pan on Ebay work allright?
don't get a chrome pan , if you have an old nasty oil pan rob the drain plug from it . the spot st. louis has it in is under the dipstick.

I have a rusty oil pan too..........that would work, I can get a new plug.........on the trans, what is behind the drain plug? It would make things a whole lot easier for me if I can drill a hole to drain it.........and then put the plug in after. I can weld and then solder the plug. I will call the tranny guy tomorrow too, he might even come out here, he's a great guy, and has a long history in this area.
if you had someone do it then I would call him unless you got the taillight warranty ...
