You can manually shift to hold your r's up higher.
Start in "1" at rpm you want go to "d"
when it tachs up a bit down shift back to "1"
this is how you hold 2nd gear.
At rpm you want...go back to "d"
If you go to "d" and back to "1" too quick, you will shift back into "1"
And if you don't go back to "1" quick enough, you will shift into 3rd too quickly.
It takes practice and is not good on your trans, but is drag racing ever good on your trans?????
You can also adjust t.v pressure(line pressure) to make your AOD shift a little harder and quicker. ( i could chirp 2nd)
Very easy but kind of complicated to explain.
You pop off the linkage under the t.b...
Score the shaft to index it...
pop the white retainer through so the spring tension will pull it closer...look at your index mark and push retainer back in so there is about a 1/4" to 1/2" gap from your index mark.
Pop back onto t.b.
You will increase your line pressure this way.
It sounds difficult but i could do it w/ my eyes closed in 30 seconds....when i still my AOD that is
