I recently converted my 5 speed to an AOD in search for quicker ETs. I have gained a half second in the 1320.

I have a 2500 stall converter, a B&M shift kit and a B&M Megashifter. After a couple of months my 1st to second shift seemed to take a litlle longer till the other day it seemed it wouldn't go into second. Not wanting to take any chances I had the car towed to my mechanic who said it was an adjustment on the TV cable.

I went to pick the car up and the same thing happened. I couldn't get out of second gear. He told me when u first start it up it will seem like an eternity to shift but you just have to put your foot into it. I di and then it shifted about 4 grand and after that it shifted sooner. He said there may be a contaminant in the valve body. I'm getting a 1-2-3 valvebody next week.

How do you adjust the TV cable is in more pressure or less pressure? Appreciate your thoughts on this "sticky" situation.
