I have a 69 Skylark, just put in 2004r I bought rebuilt from a guy at the track. 1-2 shift is ok @2000rpm feels normal 2-3 shift happens @ 1750rpm, then right away shifts in to 4th. Bowtie OD said it may be someone had installed a check ball in the lock-up solenoid actuator. I pulled it out, no check ball. Then i pulled the valve body for inspection and cleaning. put it back in same thing. I spoke to Jerry at TCI, he was very helpful. In the end he suggested i buy one of his VB rebuild kits $80.00. Help please.:3gears:
Head over to www.turbobuick.com and post your question in the transmission section. Really knowledgeable guys on the 200-4r over there...
Fixed it! I found the TCC (lock-up) solenoid exhaust port blocked. That was causing it to lock up the converter as soon as it went into second gear. Thanks Everyone!
