" As I said a Monster is truely born! "

And our MSD 6AL was set up with only 5000 rpm limiter...

I just took oil pan off of the tranny and there is no chips from anywhere in the oil and the oil is clear. So maybe adjusting the rear band will help us.

Get in, sit down, shut up and hold on!

Is the kick down rod connected from the throttle linkage? You need it! Chuck

We have a cable connection from tranny to the carb throttle plate axle and it is set so that when the plates are at wide open position, the kick down lever bottoms. Should the lever bottom before plates are fully open?

Without the old style linkage I'm not sure how to adjust it. Maybe one of the guru's can jump in. Do you have a speedo? Where does it upshift to 2d in automatic mode, low power driving? Should be 30 to 40 mph. Chuck

Here are a couple of shots of the "lost motion" linkage on my '56. The carb throttle hits the internal stops, then linkage contines to rotate in the slot to further lower the Fordomatic pressure control rod.

The transmission control is the lever just above where the screwdriver is inserted and it is rotating downward as the throttle advances. must be another 15° of travel there.

Does it have a complete aluminum case or is the bell housing cast iron? If its not all aluminum then it would be a Cruis O Matic and the shifts would be modulator controled. Chuck

It's all-aluminium 2-speed trans from '60 Fairlane and no vacuum modulator. I agree that it needs pressure from that kick down linkage, but as Hollow Head said we don't know how to adjust it because it's now done with cable.
